Answer 2

Many pc's can now rotate the screen, and there are 'hot-keys' in most pc's to get everything working right.

I have a 21" screen at work that's great for Excel. But when I'm working in Word, I want the screen up and down, not sideways. The screen has a pivot let the screen turn. So I go into the Control Panel, Displays, and change the orientation in the pc.

For your situation, simply flip it back over 180 degrees. You probably hit the quick short-cut keys to flip it over.

Now you know what the term "malicious software" (malware) means!!! Your PC is infected.

Use the link below to learn more about "malware".

Then, you need to install:

ONE Anti-virus (delete ALL others, I use AVG free),
http://www.free.grisoft.com/doc/downloads-products/us/frt/0?prd=aff

ONE XP Firewall (Zone Alarm),

(OR the Vista version: http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/promotions/vista/index5.html )

AND these 5 Anti-Spyware tools:

Windows Defender

Spybot Search and Destroy

Ad-Aware 2007

Spyware Blaster

cCleaner (technically, not anti-spyware, but very useful)
http://www,ccleaner.com

I use all regularly. Download them, install them and learn how to use them (HINT: Use the Help TAB). (Need more help? Re-post.)

TIP: The apps above can only clean up so much.

As a last resort: Back up all personal data from your PC ("Backup" means: copy to CD / DVD / external hard drive). Then, do a Windows "Clean Install", for further instructions, go to: http://www.theeldergeek.com

Note: You must use your Recovery disks, if included with your PC, to avoid driver problems, not a store-bought XP disk. The Recovery disks may be ON the hard drive, so Read The Friendly Manual FIRST to find out how to make your own Recovery disks, if it's not already too late.

Final TIP: Use Firefox instead, IE should ONLY be used for Windows Updates. To Secure Firefox:

That happened with mine,when i pressed the wrong buttons, I used recover status from system restore in control panel and reset it to a date before it flipped

Answer 5

I have never encountered this before... btw try this


Some monitors will have the degauss button to give the monitor the shock and refresh.. Try to press this button and youu monitor will have an earthquake effect.. Maybe this works...

Answer 6

Are you sure your not upside down? Just kidding!

Just press and hold CTRL + ALT and press the up arrow that
would fix the problem. =)

Answer 7

Yes, if you have an nVidia graphics card with their utility installed, then you must have accidently hit the shortcut key on the keyboard (CTRL -ALT - UP/DOWN).
