Hi,

We are using Windows XP and some how our desktop screen
is upside down and can't get it back to normal position.
We can't find any help on XP help to fix this, Please
help up..

Thanks
 
Hi Sagar,
I'm hoping you mean, that your Toolbar is postioned on the top of your
screen. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Postion the mouse on the toolbar until you get the <-> double sided arrows
and drag the toolbar back down to the bottom fo the window. Try to grab the
tool bar by the end.
Hope This Helps
Joe Sanchez
 
Greetings --

You won't find anything in WinXP's Help files about an inverted
display because WinXP doesn't have the capability of doing this.
Instead, consult the manual and/or Help files that came with your
video adapter.

Look for a rotation setting under control panel \ display \ settings \
advanced \ graphics. With my Intel system, there's a graphics
properties button under Intel extreme graphics, and a rotation tab
inside..

YES, XP >will< (SOMEHOW) actually turn your screen upside down! It
happened to me the 1st hour I was running my new system. After
enlisting the help of my wife (who got a stiff neck from helping me
decipher the upside down menus ) and after I learned that I had to
move the mouse RIGHT to make the pointer move LEFT on the screen, and
DOWN to make the pointer move UP) I grabbed the skimpy Microsoft XP
docs that came with the machine and found out how to fix the problem.

Go to a earlier RESTORE POINT and reboot your system.

You will loose much data (and possibly programs) the further back you
go, but your screen will go back to 'normal'. (I was lucky, in that I
had not installed any software yet...I was simply trying to increase
default font size).

To get to the restore point, you have to do a SYSTEM RESTORE.

Follow this path:

START > PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS > SYSTEM RESTORE.

Follow the prompts.

....Joe
