please disregard this post. we found out that there's a problem with the display driver of that pc. we just uninstalled and installed an updated display driver and viola! everything's not upside down anymore. thanks.

I believe that Nvidia/ATI have the ability to turn the display either 90 or 180 degrees using a keyboard shortcut. I imagine this was accidentally pressed, reinstalling the driver probably just reset it.


Carlsberg don't run I.T departments, but if they did they'd probably be more fun.

there is also a way with dell pcs to do this.

The keyboard shortcut in question is ctrl+alt+arrow key

I did this by accident one day while researching something in a book. Lotsa fun was had at work after that.
