| 325307 | 2005-02-15 09:43:00 | Hi there, I have a windows 2000 pc, which as of this morning displays everything upside down. The Initial boot screens are the right way up. And it will not boot into safe mode I have uninstalled and re-installed the video drivers with the same result. Ie when they are not installed it os Ok then when reinstalled the screen flips. I have checked for possible virus's using at least 2 different scanners - Clean. I am rapidly running out of ideas. can anyone help??? |

| 325308 | 2005-02-15 09:50:00 | isnt this a prank, there is a prank program that does this. what happens when you are in safe mode. have a look under msconfig and see if there is anything dodgie same as in the add/remove in the control panel. | Prescott (11) | ||

| 325313 | 2005-02-15 10:31:00 | I'm not sure if this will help given I'm not sure of your monitor, but try this : On the desktop, Right Click -> Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Intel Graphics (or something similar - depends on your graphics drivers, probably the right-most tab) -> Graphics Properties -> Rotation - in there you can put the rotation back to normal and disable the rotation -> Ok etc. With some graphics cards and/or LCD monitors it is activated by some key shortcuts of which I'm unaware of the combination (but I kept hitting them myself in error so I had to disable mine before suffering from neck strain). HTH, Andrew |

| 325314 | 2005-02-15 10:43:00 | Thanks for the input Unfortunately there is no rotate tab adn being the onboard sis the nvidia thing does not apply. task manager reveals nothing out of the ordinary to suggest prank software running in the background |
