When the lady was cleaning around my computer today, she accidentally disconnected the display (a Planar 19 inch LCD). When I plugged it back in, the image was upside down. I rebooted and the startup screen displayed correctly, and the initial Windows display was also OK. This was followed by an HP display which was upside down as was the working window after that.

While this is not a true Windows XP problem, I do not know where else I should have posted it.

I hope someone can help me...

Well I'm no expert but I have went around and played with some video card settings before and there is an option on your video card to turn your display upside down, maybe you could look into that and see if that would solve your problem.

Welcome to DAL. Try right clicking the desktop > properties > settings > advanced > Graphics Card > graphic properties > rotation tool > reset to normal or rotate 180 degrees.

Try ctr+alt+up(arrow) or ctr+alt+down

Thanks for all your replies. I tried the one that seemed easiest and it worked... Ctrl-Alt-UpArrow. Our cleaning lady is very thorough, but she will never touch my keyboard again.

Thanks for the update and the thanks.

Glad all is well. Let us know if we can help further in the future.

PM me if you want this thread reopened.
