Glad that got it & that it could never happen in Win98!

| |
| | Can you suggest any key combination that might fix the problem? Or

| |
| | Any answers, tips or ideas would be much appreciated.
|
| I don't think that can happen in Win98. You are XP-irradiated or are
| Win2K maybe.

| Screen Flipped Upside Down
|
| PC Errors, Help, and How-to'sDid you walk back to your computer after
| lunch to find your entire screen is upside down? You have fallen
| victim to one of the most common office gags. Read this article to
| find out how to undo this.
|
| 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.

|
| SO, don't let that cat get at your computer during lunch!
