Windows XP: Flipping the screen upside down and back again
Once, at University, someone had flipped the screens of all the public computers (running on Windows XP) of the English
Department upside down. The wallpaper, desktop icons, fonts, mouse-cursor and even the start-up screen...everything was displayed or moved upside down. People could not check out their e-mails or surf or do anything.
To reverse the upside down screen mode, press ctrl, alt and the up arrow (arrows console) at the same time; the screen will probably go blank. Turn off the monitor, turn it on again and the display will be normal again. If you possess a sense of humour or are antisocial, press ctrl, alt and the down arrow simultaneously, turn off the monitor, turn it on again and everyone (excluding the culprit) will be desperate --> upside down! Works for Windows XP Home and Prof.
If my solution fixed your problem, could you give me a Fixya rateing? Becouse Im trying to reach the guru rank and its up to you if I get there or not.
Thanks alot!
it worked on windows 7 for me also, thanks.
thank you cat sat on keypad and flipped computer upside down thought it was broke forever, your advice fixed it thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you so much! My grandson somehow got my screen upside down and I'm the Grandma! lol! I'm not the best "fix it" person for computers but I have learned to Google what's wrong and look for a "fix". Yours was simple to the point and worked!! Thanks again!
my cat sat on my keypad also & ...... guess what? I figured there had to be some simple combination of keys to flip the screen back but just didn't know it. Thanks so much!

SOURCE: Windows XP screen is flipped upside down...virus?!
Virus is possible but check the software for your video driver first. This has keyboard sequences that allow the screen to be rotated. Minimize any windows you have open till you have the desktop on the screen. Then on a blank area of the desktop in the middle of the screen right click mouse. If you see an option for screen properties or rotate screen or screen options choose it. In there you should see an option for rotating the screen
Holding down CTRL and ALT while pressing the DOWN ARROW flips the screen upside down.
To undo it, and flip it back to normal, hold down CTRL and ALT and press the UP ARROW
please issue positive feedback for me
