IGNORE THIS POST - I'VE MANAGED TO CHANGE IT !!!

Please please help me.

The cat walked over the keyboard and now everything on the screen is upside down. It sounds silly but I'm completely disoriented and can't navigate properly.

Any ideas how I can sort this out, I've no idea which keys or combo of keys he pressed. I can't find Restore, would be in the control panel somewhere ? It's Windows XP

Thank you so much

Linda xx

    It's not uncommon with Intel Graphic Chipsets to have rotation enabled by default. Try pressing : Ctrl + Alt + Up Arrow to reset it.

    Alternatively go into the graphics control panel (Right click on the desktop or there may be an icon in the system tray) and reset then disable screen rotation that way. I also suggest you turn off the hotkeys that enable it.

    Try CTRL + ALT + Down Arrow together.

    Or CTRL + F3 + Down Arrow

    If they don't work try the same but use the up arrow.
