116796	2003-01-27 06:13:00	I don't like to blame my sons, but ... Today we tried installing a Learning Company prog. and when it started the picture was inverted. This had first occured last night when they were running a demo from a magazine disc. (Jimmy Neutron versus someone). I removed the demo and reinstalled it and the same problem. I can get the picture on my screen to invert anytime by altering the resolution to 640 x 480 (and I can make it go sideways by changing it to 768 x 1024). When I got out of the prog. there was a flicker of the main screen which was inverted and appeared to be running at 640 x 480. I normally run at 800 x 600. I did find a game last night where they had set the resolution to 640 x 480 and I changed it back. My virus protection is up to date and my computer has been scanned. I have downloaded the critical updates from Microsoft.	BernieL (1913)

Go down to advanced then have a look across the 'tabs' at the top. under one of them there is likely to be an option about "hot keys" if there is disable them. I have come across a computer with a similar problem and that was the problem. good luck	demonmors (1299)

The hot keys were found by right clicking, finding graphics options and clicking to diable them. Any other suggestions, please?	BernieL (1913)
