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.

For Intel Extreme graphics the key combination is Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow to
return to normal view.

If the system is using an ATI graphics card is it possible that Hotkeys
are enabled and that these have been used to rotate the display. You
access the ATI control centre where this is configured by right clicking
on the desktop and selecting Catalyst Control Centre. You would then be
able to see the key combinations used.

I suspect that nVidia graphics might have a similar option.

Dear Mike and Everyone,

Here is a full list of keys that somebody on another website sent me for
screen orientation problems, in case it's ever useful.

"Ctrl-Alt-Up - right side up

Ctrl-Alt-Right - 90 degrees

Ctrl-Alt-Down - 180 degrees

Ctrl-Alt-Left - 270 degrees

If that doesn’t work, try Ctrl-Shift-R"

I haven't tempted fate by trying any except the first, which resolved my
problem.

Best,

Claire

Thanks,

I am aware of these key combinations which is why I suggested you try
Ctrl-Alt-Up to correct your problem. Unfortunately not all graphics
drivers use the same key combinations.

Upside down video in Windows Media Player can be caused by outdated video
drivers so check your graphics card manufacturer's web site for updated
drivers.

(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...s/readme.aspx).
This also applied to other versions of WMP.

I dont think this is the problem.
Cuz now I see that it's only a certain film I cant see. I downloaded some
episodes of Heroes, and when I play them they appear upside down, but when I
watch something else it's normal. It's just these series.. Weird enough .. So
what can I do ?

You could always try my suggestion. You have nothing to lose and a lot to
gain and until you do so you can't say that it won't work. Not all video
files/codecs make the same demands on the system so what works with one
video won't necessarily work with another.

Thank you for your information. The right click on the mouse, etc. is how I

Again, thank you. Rather than getting frustrated and waiting for my son for

myself (of course, not without your help!) Have a Happy New Year!

I have tried to use ctrl-alt-up, ctrl-alt-down, and ctrl-alt-r and nothing is
happening with my computer. My 5 year old son put the computer screen upside
down so I'm not sure how to get out of it. But those suggestions are not
working for me. Does the computer have to be on a particular screen for those
solutions to work?

For Intel Extreme graphics the key combination is Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow to
return to normal view.

If the system is using an ATI graphics card is it possible that Hotkeys
are enabled and that these have been used to rotate the display. You
access the ATI control centre where this is configured by right clicking
on the desktop and selecting Catalyst Control Centre. You would then be
able to see the key combinations used.

I suspect that nVidia graphics might have a similar option.

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.

Mike,
Thought you'd like to know that your info saved another befuddled computer

WOW, what a life saver. I'm glad I'm not the only one who had this problem. I
think I have too much stuff on and around my keyboard.

Thanks Mike.

Thank you for the help, I was feeling rather stupid, a box hit my keyboard
and all I could think was, how am I going to fix this without becoming the
office joke! Thanks

Mike,

Thank you for your information. The right click on the mouse, etc. is how I
was able to change my graphic setting. The cat changed my setting also!

Again, thank you. Rather than getting frustrated and waiting for my son for
assistance, I was happy to find your post and corrected my computer issue
myself (of course, not without your help!) Have a Happy New Year!
