Question Posted Wednesday December 20 2006, 1:17 am
I just typed in a code i think it was something along the lines of SHIT CTRL ALT 0220 aaand I was just trying to make a U with an umlaut. And instead. my computer blacked out and now, it's upside down. Like the whole thing, text and evertyhing is upside down. it's like the moniter got reversed without me even touching it.
PLLEAASSEEE help meeee. my parents are going to freak out.
Restart the computer. The odds are you accidentally stumbled across the hotkey for monitor orientation... but which one? It could be the video driver software, or you could have proprietary hardware, like the Dell with rotating monitor.
If you just happen to have the Dell: ctrl-alt-(arrow key) will flip the screen the direction you press.
Try the combo, even if you don't have the Dell, as some manufacturers using the Intel Extreme Graphics (built onto the motherboard in most cases) have it configured to enable screen rotation.
