You'll have to give us more information than that. What are your system specifications?

Integrated Intel video chipsets tend to have compatibility issues with games. You can try updating the drivers (at Intel's web site), but that may not fix it.

Sideways as in your monitor looks like it has been rotated 90 degrees?

try to change the resolution (and the refresh rate) of the game. I've had the same problem on another game.
