Hi my screen is upside down. All images and text even the start button and task bar are all upside down how to I get them back up the right way it looks like they have been mirrored

Is it a Mirror Image, or upside down, or both.

It seems by all of your threads that you have done something to really mess up your entire computer. I would suggest... stop where you are and let someone who knows about computers help you. If you keep pushing any ole button, you are going to crash your computer eventually. It's not mirror image... that would just reverse everything, not make it go upside down. Do you have a flat screen monitor?

If you have XP, can you do System Restore to a point before the problems?

I went to control panel, display, tried to duplicate, no luck. I did change from Flip to Blit?
I have no Idea yet what the change is. I hope a solution is found, as it could be useful to do intentionally.

Does anyone else have access to your computer?

The reason that I ask is that there is a joke program that I remember that we used to use called "Australia.exe" which does exactly that. If I remember correctly, the way to turn off this program is simply to hit the ESC key.

Well I'm not sure this is the problem, but it's worth the try. I just did something to make my screen go upside down easily, at your desktop right click anywhere. Go down the list (hopefully you can read upside down) to Graphics Options, go to Rotation, and choose normal. If that's the problem you would see a check next to 180 Degrees (an upside down check in this case). I hope this helped, if it did please rate me.

Hi people. Thanks for the feedback. I fixed the problem it was the kids and they hit cntrl, alt and the up arrow to get it like that and then I hit ctrl, alt and down arrow to fix.

Thanks everyone

Glad you got your problem fixed , I was going to suggest turning your monitor upside down :-) Just kidding!

Hi everyone... thanks for your answers but I have it sorted! Yay it was only a minor error I pushed cntrl alt and the up or down arrow together. I don't no y it happnd but it is all fixed now. Thanks again everyone

It does happen, I download movies all the time and sometimes a movie will show upside down with Nero playing the movie back, the codex are messed up sometimes on certain players. I just flip the entire CRT monitor upside down and watch it. Not only is is upside down, its backwards also, the text is backwards also. Since I flip the entire monitor over to watch the movie without going crazy, any words are unreadable, so actually the movie is also the same, if the actor is looking left, on a good player, they would be looking right.

Are you running Windows Vista? I ask because I tried this on both Win2K and WinXP, and nothing happened in either case.

Thanks so much, that fixed my problem!

Your hot keys are switched on - you need to press CTRL, ALT and one of the arrow keys - each arrow is the opposite of the way the screen looks. If your monitor shows everything upside down then you use CTRL ALT and the up arrow.

Like mentioned, on Vista, CTRL, Alt, and up or down, and even left or right,
And on XP, right click your Desktop, click Graphics Options, select rotation, 90, 180, 270.

It can change by reverting to a right-side up display, hold down the Ctrl, Alt and up (arrow) keys on the keyboard then it can according your need or as before as .

On the computers at my school you press control-alt- then the up key.

Iam willy tenderessy i think the best way on how to achieve such minor error is to right click any free space from the desktop and click graphi

Thanks Da Bigchamp. Your answer solved my problem.
