CioccolataCalda · 16/01/2009 18:48

Kids friends have 'played' on the computer and the whole screen is now upside down.I mean the images on the screen and the mouse is all back to front.
I have tried turning it off and then on again but to no avail.

I am about to murder all of the children but would like to get this one sorted before I am put away.

Help me please????

Press Ctrl and the up arrow (I think)

I think it's control, alt and the arrow key all at the same time.

SlightlyMadScientist · 16/01/2009 18:50

Sorry 'Alt Gr' (just to the right of the space bar) and the UP arrow.

Infuriatingly, I can't bloody remember how I sorted it! (more luck than knowledge )

Sorry for being totally bloody useless, but I hope you get it sorted soon!

I have just told my kids and their friends that I am "bloody furious" with them for messing up the computer. They were thumping the keyboard. And this is 8 year olds!!

Trashing the house and I am powerless....

will get another thread going later on this one I feel.

Yes the embarassment of glancing at your screen and yelling 'Oh no! My screen's the wrong way up and I don't know whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy' was quite intense
