VDU image upside down!

[Leslie Isaacs]

Hello All

I thought I had seen it all - until today!

My screen has suddenly gone upside down: all the open applications, and even
the desktop are totally inverted. I have rebooted, and initially this seemed
to solve it, but early in the boot sequence the "Windows is starting up" box
and everything thereafter was upside down! The mouse is also working
inverted - so at least it's consistent with the screen.

Please tell me that I'm not going mad, this is a known issue, and easily
remedied.

I am using Windows 2k professional.

Hope someone can help.
Many thanks
Leslie Isaacs

When this problem has been brought up here in the past, it has generally
been the case that the user (or a gremlin) inadvertently used a
well-documented "make everything upside down" setting in the video card.

Try for a right-side up display, holding down the CTRL, ALT and UP

Hello Dan

Thanks for that: but what can I do about it?

1. Read Steve Parry's post.
2. Read the video card manual.

Right click at empty desktop area - Properties - tab Settings - Advanced.
Dig thru all tabs concerning your videocard and look for something like:
View (mode) / Orientation / Rotation or similar.
