Screen is upside down

[Kjartan]

Hi. I have a challenge. One of my customers put a book or something on her
keyboard. Suddenly the screen is upside down. It is not in a specific
application. It is W2K general. Does not help to restart the machine. I have
searched the web and all over Technet cant`t find anything that can help. I
saw a joke "virus" once that could do this. But there must be some kind of
shortcut keys in W2K that can do this. Anyone have a clue? I would be really
grateful.

Video card has a rotate feature that can be activated by a keystroke
combination.

You can unrotate it by finding out what the combination is. Or
alternately, hunt through the display properties. Or see if there is a
system tray icon with a rotate feature on it.

If i had to guess what the combination was, i'd start with the letter R

Alt +R
Ctrl +R
Clrl +Shift+ R
ALt + Shift+ R
Ctrl+Alt +R
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R

Make sure the desktop has focus, not an application.
