    Urgent - display upside down!!``

    I was just on the net a few minutes ago when my screen started flickering and now the display is upside down! This is apparent from the logon screen, it doesn't affect the windows boot screen. How can I get my display the right way up again?

    I found a knowledgebase article that advised pressing CTRL ALT UP, which worked!

    Question is, why did this happen?

    sounds right. easy thing to do - especially on laptops

    hehe - had this on a laptop I look after for someone - they were explaining it down the phone and I'm like 'what on earth' - when I saw it I realised what was going on.
