    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)

    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.
    Cheers .........

    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.
