This is a right pain!

If you are using Windows XP, right click on the desktop, click on Graphics Options, Rotate and then "normal". Not easy as it sounds when your world is upside down..

I had this recently. Took me ages to figure it out but it was the rotate function that needed to be corrected. Can't remember now where I found it but you could do a search.

Thanks everyone - really good to get the responses! Control, alt and up key worked - what a relief!

To stop it happening again, right click on the desktop & choose Graphics Options - Hot Keys - Disable

Thanks for that - had never even seen Graphics Options - Hot Keys - before.
