Default Fixed: Upside-Down Screen Content

Thanks PCR! Control Alt Up fixed the problem. Actually, the cat was trying to
have a nap on the computer after his own lunch. I missed mine due to screen
inversion.....Best, Noorjabal

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!
