Upside-Down Screen Contents
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. |

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.

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?
