Upside-Dpwn Screen Content
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. |

Fixed: Upside-Dpwn Screen Content
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!

More Keys: Upside-Dpwn Screen Content
Dear Mike and Everyone,
Here is a full list of keys that someone 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.

More Keys: Upside-Dpwn Screen Content
Thanks,
As I posted in your other thread I am aware of those key combinations which is why I suggested you try Ctrl-Alt-Up to correct your problem. Unfortunately however 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 someone on another website sent me for screen orientation problems, in case it's ever useful.

THANKS FOR TIP ON Upside-DOwn Screen Content
Thanks for this post! It really worked for me. I cannot imagine how you
posted the question with your screen upside down as I had a difficult time getting around the net or otherwise controling my computer with the screen inverted. But, the answer here did the trick in no time! Thank you thank you! |
