desktop/mouse problem

[Guest]

My 3 yr old nephew was playing a game on my pc when he called me and said look

Well my taskbar was down the right side of my screen so everything is now
running left to right instead of up and down and my mouse functions are all
wrong ie move mouse left and it moves down,move down and it moves right etc
etc

Got the taskbar back but bar that the rest is all as mentioned above?

Please help

Launch System Restore and select a Restore Point
that was created just prior to your incident.

Use System Restore to Undo Changes if Problems Occur

Try System Restore? Run it and try a recent (but before incident) "System
Checkpoint" restore point that you find in the System Restore Wizard's
calandar.

Thanx very much Carey had thought about SR but didnt think it was a necessary
and that it was just a quick fix needed to solve the problem but everything
is fine now
One more question my nephew was using the keys on the bottom left of the
keyboard when playing game could he have caused this problem or was it
possibly something else?

Again thanx very much for your help and quick reply

Your telling him to run System Restore for a simple screen rotation problem?
