This is unbelievable. One one machine at work desktop is upside down. My mate clicked some keys on the keyboard accidentaly and it turned upside down. The weird thing is that it has no such features in graphics options because it is some onboard graphics chip-intel ones.
Does anybody know some shortcuts maybe to turn it upside down again.
........
:( :(


Update: we found what caused it. It was some weird shaite he recieved by mail. A virus like.
Admins u can delete this post now.
Cheers

Another thing that can cause the desktop to be rotated, besides the gag virus you found on your system, is VC driver related. Some video drivers (nVidia in particular) have provisions built into the Display Properties, which offer the ability to rotate the display in 90 deg increments...for use with Displays that can be swung round to Portrait mode. :)

if it is an intel board with integrated graphics there are a few shortcuts...

press ctrl+alt+uparrow and that should bring it back to normal....
ctrl+alt+leftarrow 90deg to the left
ctrl+alt+rightarrow 90deg to the right
ctrl+alt+downarrow 180Deg (upside down)

after getting it straight... you should disable the hotkeys for this.
There should be a monitor icon on the task bar (looks like a flatpanel monitor) right click, go to settings and disable hot keys...
