HELP ME PLEASE

My 15 month old son loves to play with the computer. I
never thought he could do something I couldn't fix.
HOWEVER, somehow or another he has turned the entire
desktop and Windows program upside down. Other than
turning my monitor upside down IS THERE ANY WAY TO FIX
IT????? Please help me with this.

If it's just the taskbar gone from the bottom to the top
of the screen, you can just drag and drop it back where it
was.

But if the taskbar and all of the icons are in the same
place but upside down, then I would try using TweakUI's
Rebuild icons feature.

Also run the other Repair options:
TweakUI for XP (Powertoys) - http://tinyurl.com/73pj

If that doesn't work, I would remove the video card from
the Device Manager, and then reboot and allow Windows to
find new hardware and reinstall the drivers.

Look in the video card propeties for a setting to rotate the screen.
Right click desktop, properties. (maybe settings tab, advanced)
 
Check your graphics driver settings for screen orientation. ATI and NVIDIA
drivers can usually change the orientation for the screen, either through
the Display Control Panel or through the system tray applets.
 
Hi

My computer screen has a rotate option as well but it doesn't turn a Window
180°.

But worth looking at yours if all else fails.

Check the software associated with the video card (NVidia ?) they ofte
have controls to
rotate the video screen's view.

HI Dave. Where is the video card software? Are you
talking about my monitor software?

You probably have an Intel extreme graphics chipset that allows image
rotation. Right click on the desktop>properties>settings>advanced>Intel
extreme graphics >properties>rotation..
