Answer 1

Please let us know if Uttam's solution works. It sure is simpler that this crap.

There should be control buttons on your monitor. These will help you correct the situation. Ask your cousin if he touched your keyboard or the monitor. it should at least give you some direction. I will experiment and get back to you on this.

Answer 2

Geeze, I could do that on my old Atari 800 with one poke in BASIC. Pulling this stunt in the old days was cool and freaked out Apple II owners --- but for a modern PC it's just plain psycho.

Obviously, the cousins hit the button that configures the machine for use in Australia.

I suggest hanging yourself upside down from the ceiling and contacting the manufacturer of the video card over the Internet, or at least shutting it down and re-seating all the cards. Good luck.

Answer 3

if you right click on your desktop you should get graphics properties or something to that effect you can then move the mouse cursor to the relevant tab after you click on graphics properties and there should be a tab for shifting it back to normal, which is tricky when the monitor is shifted up side down because then you have to use the mouse as though the mouse is back to front.

Answer 4

consistent with this night, then she does deserve it greater. however the final few weeks she's been enormously shoddy, so it ought to circulate the two way, fairly. Gareth's enormously stable, he would not do something wonderful, yet he would not shrink to rubble too plenty. Zaraah's been slightly too up and down, so it surely relies upon on what human beings think of roughly.

Answer 5

Hi,

greetings for the day,

if you are watching your screen upside down then simply press ctrl+alt+uparrow to make your screen visible as usual.

thanks & regards,
uttam,

Answer 6

I do it by pressing CTRL, ALT and The Up keys simultaneously. May work in your case.
