Desktop is upside down??

[Guest]

My friend had an old monitor. One day she turned on her computer and the desktop was upside down. She just turned the monitor over and used it that way for about a year.

Now her monitor quit working so she borrowed one from a neighbor. The picture is upside down on that monitor too!

Does anyone know of a software or hardware problem that would cause the desktop to be upside down?

Thank you in advance for help with this curious problem.

You need to tell us what brand of video card or adapter you have.
If you happen to have a NVIDIA card or adapter, right-click on
your desktop and select:

Properties > Settings > Advanced > GeForce (tab) > NVRotate
and change the setting to "Landscape (0 degree rotation)".

Thanks for the post Carey.

I don't know if she has a NVIDIA adapter but I will forward your suggestion.

Quite right We

I forwarded your comment to my friend.

Many systems have a command in the display
properties/advanced that allow rotation. There are also
prank and virus programs that do this too.

posting replies but failing to attach it to the original string

Not sure myself, but I think someone had their monitor upside down!
