Hi my son was using the computer and the keyboard went to slip and he grabbed
it and hit a bunch of keys at once. He looked up and the screen was upside
down (not the start bar being moved I know how to do that) but everything was
upside down. Everything still functions even the mouse upside down. I shut
down and unplugged the computer and monitor from the wall and I also have
tried the monitors physical settings that doesn't work. Help if anyone can
thanks
 
Some graphics cards come with utilities or an option to rotate your display.
Most likely to be found in the Display/Advanced option.

Click on Start/Control Panel/Display/Setting Tab, Advanced button or it
could be an
Icon in the control panel specifically for the Video Card you have.

The following may also work: CTRL+ALT+Up arrow (on some combination of arrow
keys) on some but not all video cards.
Which is what your son most likely did.

The ability to rotate the screen image is a feature of your video card, to
help it work with monitors that rotate to portrait orientation The keys he
hit that made it happen were Ctrl-Alt, and some arrow key. Rotate it back
using those keys.
 
Thank JS that worked and it was quick thank you thank you thank you. I did
disable the keys in the display settings so it won't happen again unless I
go into the settings and do it myself. Again very helpful thank you Joan

The same thing happened today when my son was using the computer (what is it
with boys?) Anyway, many thanks for the helpful answer Ctrl+Alt+Up arrow
worked just great.
