Re: Totally upside down monitor video
I am guessing that someone flipped it for you without you knowing. The little things people do that are the greatest jokes.
Wait until your "Friend" who flipped it posts on your desktop a image of the desktop as your background and moves the icons off screen.

OP has nVidia GeForce which has access by one click from the systray for rotation up to 270 degrees. But that application sounds great for those who can't rotate with ease. |

Seems like a new way to overcome your problem.

Just came across this this week, but with the Intel graphics on Dell PCs. The hotkey in that case is CTRL-ALT-UpArrow and CTRL-ALT-DownArrow...

And that's the answer. The nvidia driver is not
installed, but the microsoft version of the driver.
Which can do the flip it trick is.
Which is now flipped right. And disabled from happening
again.
Thanks for the quick answer. |

I'm betting you've got a G-Force graphic card in there. The driver software that comes with them installs a taskbar utility that enables you to flip thru 180 degrees with a single right click. Log on and chech for the little green Nvidia logo, right click it and select rotate 180 deg (or Ctrl+Shift+R) I know other cards may have this functionalaty but my Nvidia card keeps catching me out! |

| Very strange indeed. The video coming out of the PC
is upside down. The bios and boot screen is rightside up.
But once the Win XP video driver kicks in. At the logon
boot, the video goes upside down.
I know monitors can be turned left to right for publishing
softwares. But upside down serves no purpose.
The PC is totally usable once I flip the monitor. Left
right up and down is correct. I am not aware of any
settings in video properties to do this trick.
I am running a virus scan on the system now.
Has anybody experienced this before?
My IT person is very paranoid. He won't install anything
unless it comes from a fortune 500 company. So A HJT log
is not forth coming.
I am posting here in security. Because this maybe related
to security. I suspect something came in via-email. But
the usual virus things did not happen. AKA: killing AVS |
