Dunno about yours but I can invert the image from the control panel for the video card.

For example, select Control Panel -> Display -> Settings -Advanced -> GEForce4 MX440 -> NVRotate (for my video card).

Wait!

I just found this: http://engtech.wordpress.com/2006/08/01/stupid-windows-features-monitor-display-turns-sideways-or-upside-down/

The Ctrl-Alt-Direction key sequence is supposed to be used for changing your workspace. On my computer at work it changes the screen orientation.
Ctrl-Alt-Up - right side up
Ctrl-Alt-Right - 90 degrees
Ctrl-Alt-Down - 180 degrees
Ctrl-Alt-Left - 270 degrees
(If that doesn’t work, try Ctrl-Shift-R)

how good are you at doing a head stand

Got to agree with Andy on this one. I just tried all the key sequences that Ron suggested on my machine. SQUAT ALL. It didn't do nuffink. But, try control panel. The nvidea control set does some jiggy things.

Ron, an MX 440? I thought all those had been compulsorarily nuked. Awfull video card.

Shorty.

I don't play any any video/computer games and it is perfectly OK for text.

True mate, true. Had one of them way back when. In an old p450 IBM. It suited that machine, far too slow for my new puter. If it works for you, that's the important part.

Shorty.

I would have thought that it was the ideal card for anyone masochistic enough to own anything that comes out of Solihull.:D

restart computer, pressing F8 every second till you get the windows boot menu, pick VGA mode, let it load windows, then go set the resolution to what you want..

Hey - I just tried one of the earlier suggestions and turned the monitor upside down and that worked.

But it's bloody hard typing now - I suppose that's a drawback of laptops.:p

I used to be almost perfect - but I was conceited.

Now I have overcome my conceit, I am perfect. :)

I think the Ctrl-Alt-arrow method only works on flat panel monitors, and not all of them.

We used to do this trick to the supervisors pc at my old work, then we showed him how to fix it with the following sequence


CTRL+ALT+left, CTRL+ALT+DN,CTRL+ALT+Right,CTRL+ALT+up,CTRL+ALT+Dn

We also told him the sequence had to be completed within a 3 second time frame.

He caught on (after a month) but still always got someone to fix it for him


Whenever he left his desk someone would turn his screen image upside down. Eventually he caught on. Then we turned the whole monitor upside down. Took him a good 5 minutes to realise that his image was the right way up.

Childish, yes
Fun, definately
the best part was watching him with his tongue out to the side trying to type the magic sequence within the 3 second period.

A monitor is just a monitor, more to do with the video card and software.
