Log in upside down and when you get to the desktop, right click go to your graphic card properties and Rotate 180. Should work.

Dang, Chad...what have you been doing to your pc, dude?

Go to a blank spot on your desktop
Right click
go to "Properties"
click on "settings"
click on "Advanced"
go to "graphics driver"
click on "graphics properties"
click on "rotation"

go from there

Screen Flipped Upside Down

Holding down CTRL and ALT while pressing the DOWN ARROW flips the screen upside down.

To undo it, and flip it back to normal, hold down CTRL and ALT and press the UP ARROW.

<ctrl><alt><up> is the first thing to try.

RE: This is a feature in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. Which makes sense. But it looks like ATI Intel copied the keystroke for the same “feature” in their video card drivers.

These...
<ctrl><alt><left>,
<ctrl><alt><right>,
<ctrl><alt><down>
...will all have interesting effects too, if you're using the ATI driver.
