Help! Inverted Screen Content
« on: July 17, 2007, 12:44:48 PM »
My cat lay down across the bottom part of my keyboard, and before I could lift him off, the content on my screen was upside down :o

Restarting and trying to use the system restorer didn't help. The start-up information is the right way up until I get Windows "Welcome", which is upside down, and then everything else is.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Is there a key combination that inverts the screen, and could maybe right it again? Not sure if I'm posting this in the right section - could the software have been upset?

Any solutions, tips or ideas would be very much appreciated!

    Ctrl-Alt-Up Arrow- right side up

    Ctrl-Alt-Right Arrow- 90 degrees

    Ctrl-Alt-Down Arrow- 180 degrees

    Ctrl-Alt-Left Arrow- 270 degrees
    (If that doesn’t work, try Ctrl-Shift-R)

    Many thanks to Frankie and the website for immediate solution  :D. Control Alt Up restored my inverted screen to normal. Didn't find these commands in Microsoft list, but maybe I was in too much of a panic. Best, Claire

      They aren't Microsoft controls, thats why they wouldn't have been found. Ctrl+Alt+Arrow key is a combination used by many video display drivers to reorient the screen.
      System specs:
      Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (up to 3.3 stock V and air)
      ASUS Striker Extreme
      XFX 8600GT XXX Edition
      2x 1gB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800
      Seagate Barracuda 320gB SATA
      Raidmax Ninja 918 (520W ATXV2.0 PSU)

      Thanks, DeltaSlaya  :). I don't know much about infotech and it's useful to find out that there are more levels of information available than I'm aware of. Best, Claire
