Jul 10, 2006 11:43 am If it is a Dell (maybe even other brands) sometimes you can press Ctrl+Alt+Up/DownArrow to flip the image.
Prank software and viruses can do this too but try the above first before you start worrying about your machine being infected.
Jul 11, 2006 07:41 pm Yep, my youngest son downloaded a flash game that did the exact thing. It was just malacious software that created the problem. It simply resets your video disply to do a 180 turn. It could be a bunk video card but I doubt it.
Jul 12, 2006 10:43 am my kids switched the display around on my new dell at home. some hotkey swapped the display around all four ways,
I can ask them what it was if it's still a problem.

Jul 13, 2006 03:23 pm Haha, you've most likely hit a hot-key as everybody suggested. Try right-clicking on your desktop, selecting "properties", and seeing if there are any "advanced" or "nvidia"/"ati" somethingorother tabs and you should be able to come up with something relating to your problem!
