:help: Turned my back for a minute and my grandson has pressed who knows what on my dell laptop and now the whole screen is upside down...turned it off and back on but to no avail.....could anyone help please

i cant remember the keyboard shortcut, but it will be one of the GFX options, this has been mentioned on here before... :\

press control, alt and up

Cant believe that was so simple, thankyou very much for your help , at last i am the right way up:D

Does this work on normal PCs I wonder...... would be a great trick to play on work colleagues ;)

I didnt know it was possible! I wana try it but I don't dare!

Depends on the graphics chipset.

Another good trick is to take a screenshot of their desktop, then move all the icons off the desktop (to a safe folder) and move the task bar off the screen, then set the screenshot as the wallpaper. The desktop will look exactly the same as it did before you moved everything, except of course they won't be able to click on anything ;)

it works, it works! (ctr alt & down to flip it upside down)

Punk, you have just made me very happy and my colleagues very annoyed :D

You're a techy practical jokes genius!!! :love:

Of course, you could always turn the monitor upside down!!

Or you could borrow one of my grandchildren:hihi:

You have to admit it, the Guys and Gals on here really are something else aren't they?

They are brilliant, and much appreciated! :thumbsup:

Gutted! it won't work on my colleague's PC (they've got a different one to me) :(

Still working on the desktop printscreen one though - I'll get them yet!
