Desktop has turned upside down. Help needed please!

Hi,

Right click on the desktop and select properties.
Click Settings - Advanced, and look through the tabs and properties
for a rotation setting and adjust it back to normal.

You're welcome Jade.

You should password your account and create a new account for you
sister.

Or you could turn on the Guest account and let here use it.

Go to Control Panel - User accounts and click on Guest then click
"Turn on the guest account".

System Restore is a built-in utility that can be used to roll back the
system in the event of unwanted system changes.

Here are most easier and most practical advice for resolving that problem which happened to me also, on very unusual way...my cat went across my keyboard and my desktop was turned upside down! ....LOL    

It took me also little searching how to resolve this and here is how to do that.  

Fortunately, I have desktop, so I turned my LCD screen first upside down ,....LOL....in order to easier manage mouse movement.

Resolving this issue is very simple:

- right click on desktop screen
- choose "Graphic Properties"
- click "Normal" (180 degrees will become automaticaly unchecked)

That's all!  

Screen returned to NORMAL.  

Regards.  

Press AND HOLD FOR A FEW SECONDS the keys: CTRL + ALT + cursor UP + cursor [/b]DOWN arrows concurrently (at the same time) [/b]

When you press and Hold these four (4) keys down for a few seconds. The monitor scren will black out and come on again with desktop right side up.

Hope it works for you!!

Pauline
