My twins were at a friend's house yesterday and they have done something to her computer - everything is now upside down on the display. She has Windows XP. Does anybody know how to spin the display so it is the right way up? She is still my friend but that might not be the case if I can't get her computer sorted out!

Try control, alt and one of the arrow keys?

I think it's that?

control alt arrow is a shortcut

A supervisor at work thinks it's 'hilarious' to do this as a 'security' measure if you forget to lock your screen while you're away from your desk....It's been a while, so I couldn't remember!

Thank you so much!! You have saved our friendship not to mention stopped my friend incurring an osteopath's bill and sending it to me!
