Guest noorjabal Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 My cat lay along the lower end of my keyboard while the computer was on - which turned the contents of the screen upside down! Re-booting and shutting down have failed to solve the problem. I also tried systems restore but that didn't work either, although I'm not sure if I was using it correctly. All the start-up data is the right way up, but everything goes upside down from Windows "Welcome" onwards. Can you suggest any key combination that might fix the problem? Or anything else? What combination of keys might the cat have pressed to cause this? Any answers, tips or ideas would be much appreciated.

This is a function of your videocard, Rightclick on the desktop, choose properties->settings->advanced. Somewhere here you can find the rotation settings of the screen.

Key combination can be specific to each individual card.chipset and driver, or personal settings which you may have applied... If not able to find these or correct the issues this way, post the card/chipset [so the *normal* reg settings can be cross-checked with any specific card settings] and perhaps some registry modifications can be found.
