PC monitor up-side-down!

Weird, a sales rep just let me look at his monitor on his PC notebook and it's upside down! the DOS prompt and windows 2000 pro splash screen are ok, but as soon as it finishes launching windows, it's all upside down!
He says he did an auto-update, of what, he can't tell me.
Anyone have a clue what's going on?

I saw a Dell machine that had that "feature".
Try... Ctrl-Alt-uparrow/downarrow.

Otherwise... it might be some malaware etc.

but the rep left the building and the notebook is at a login that is password protected so I can't try it. Oh well. :lol:

I've got the solution. Tell the sales rep to stand on his head. I had to say it.

my mom had this problem...I told her to buy a mac but...whatever.

Somewhere in the preferences you can actually rotate the whole thing 180 degrees. Handy feature. I am really suprised that mac never caught up to windows on this one. I mean how many times have you sat there, for example, in Photoshop and wanted to rotate an image upside down??

Dont tell me to rotate the image in photoshop 180 degrees......I really want to do it on a system level basis.....

Doesn't everyone??

I guess windows just decided to change the setting on it's own.

my poor mom would really have no clue as how to change the settings....
