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. |

Thank you, Mike. Control Alt Up-Arrow brought me back to normal. Best,
Noorjabal "Mike M" wrote: 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. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows noorjabal wrote: My cat lay along the lower end of my keyboard while the computer was on - which turned the contents of the screen upside down!

Noorjabal,
Thanks for posting back and letting us all know that you've now fixed your upside down display problem and how you did this. Hopefully this will help anyone else experiencing the same problem. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows noorjabal wrote: Thank you, Mike. Control Alt Up-Arrow brought me back to normal. Best, Noorjabal |

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.

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. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows noorjabal wrote: 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.

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. Ref: Readme for Windows Media Player 9 Series (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...s/readme.aspx). This also applied to other versions of WMP. -- Mike Maltby AC Babyh xxx AC Babyh wrote: Somehow when I am watchin a film, on Windows Media Player, the video apprears upside down.

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 ? - AC Babyh xxx "Mike M" wrote: 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.
