Ever Hear Of This?

Post by MetDream »

When one of my co workers turned on her computer this morning everything on the display is upside down: the desktop, outlook, the intenet, all the programs ect. She rebooted it but it is still the same. The techy guys are giong to look into it. However, that is just so bizarre, I had to ask if anyone else has heard of something like happening. :blink:

Ha that works. But you have to hold Cntrl + Alt + the Arrow Down key. :) Our tech guy didnt know that, he used the display adapters to fix it, but I let him know. Thanks.

Do you need a certain video card in order to do that function? I tried it here and it does not work....could be a good prank to pull on someone I know :P
