UPSIDE Down Desktop in XP

[Guest]

Hello, I have a computer running XP Pro. The girl working on that computer
hit a sequence of key stroks that caused her screen to flip upside down. In
Win2K the CTRL+ALT+directional keys will rotate the screen, but this does not
appear to work in Windows XP. Does Anyone know what key stroks I need to use
to flip the screen right side up? I have been looking for the better part of
the day trying to find the answer and alas have found nothing.
Thakn you for your time

Hi

Try this:

Right click the Desktop, select Properties>Settings>Advanced. See if there
is a setting in there to rotate the screen back to normal. If you have
Nvidia software installed try clicking on the tab for your graphics card and
have a look for NVRotate on the left hand side.

If you do have an Nvidia card there may be an icon in the Notification Area.
If so, right click on it, select Rotation Settings and then set it to 0
degrees.

Thank you very much for the speedy reply and the correct answer. Screen is
not longer upside down. It is the same keystroks as win2k. NOt sure why
this time and not when I tried it yesterday. Still looking at that one..
Thank you again

You're welcome Wayne. Have you installed the latest XP compliant drivers
for the video card?

yes, once I got the screen right side up I went and did the updates.
