Thank you for this my 3 year old sister did it to me and I ended up using the
computer with my head tilted to a 90 degree angle not confortable, this saved my life as I was house sitting and this would have had in BIG TROUBLE. Thanks a million.

By the up key do you mean the up arrow?

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!
