Why is video game showing up sideways on screen?

My sister's kids are having a problem with a video game.
The game is used on their PC. Monitor is 5 or 6 years old, but tower is only two years old.
This is a kid's video game called Rayman Raving Rabbids and has no intense needs .
They got the game at a garage sale for a few dollars and it never displayed right.
Game is showing up so that all graphics are sideways so the only way to play this would be to turn the monitor on its side!
What could the problem be and how to fix this?

Everything else displays fine.
other info:
Running windows XP with decent RAM, Gateway monitor EV700, not sure of video card, but is not that old.
 
this is less complicated then you think. ingame, go to video settings or somethign along thoise lines, and under resolution, it will say like 600X800or something. change it so that the first number is bigger then the second. otherwise it will be sideways.
