Oh My God Help!!!!

Options
OK. We bought a dell laptop over the phone and it arrived today.
It is for my boyfriend to use, as he's a writer.
He used it for about an hour before he went to work today and said I could go on it for a little bit.

I went on it for a little bit, played Tomb Raider 3 for about 10 minutes, made Lara jump backwards and the screen is now upside down.

Yes. The screen is upside down.

I don't know how on earth I have done it, but he's gonna kill me when he gets back from work. I've broken his baby!!!

Can ANYONE help AT ALL?

I'm desparate here...

    ...just turn the thing the other way up.

    He won't notice. Writers never notice things like that.

    I should know - I am one!

    Could you turn it upside down too?

    I was just thinking if he annoyed you one time you could threaten to turn the screen upside down. If he called your bluff you could really do it. :D
