This is a really funny prank to pull on your friends if they have an XP computer. To turn the windows display 180 degrees (or upside down) simply press Ctrl-alt-down arrow. To set it back simply press Ctrl-alt-up arrow. Note: this only works on XP and it depends on your graphics card.

ctrl-alt-left and right rotate it 90 degrees. Since I have those bound to switching between workspaces on my laptop (I run Linux), it is very common for my screen to accidentally rotate at work where I have to use Windows because I think "Firefox, left!" due to how I arrange tasks on my workspaces.
థాంక్స్
Thank you so much! I thought my laptop was fatally ill! My 7 year old was playing a game on it when it happened and I had no idea what she had done!
Our cat did it too, believe it or not. OS is Vista.
it dont work on school comp
lol just turn pc screen upside down lol
Here is a solution to the problem. As far as I know this only works on certain version of windows XP and it may depend on your graphics card. On the desktop, right-click and select Graphic Options --> Rotation --> Normal.

Hello computer kid!!! Thank you so much for the information,...last night my cat walked over my keyboard and the next moment everything was turned upside down. I thought something was terribly wrong. I was going to call tech support. You saved me time and money,...Thanks a ton!!!
Conrad... You need to brush up on your sources... It works on Vista Ultimate...
My Girl was in trouble in her office for this problem of inverted desktop.. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for helping me solve her problem.. She gave me a KISS!!!
Once again, an "undocumented feature" in Windows. I couldn't find this in any list of shortcuts on the Windows site. Thanx a million
Thanks a lot! My kitten just pulled that stunt on me when he stood on my keyboard. Thanks to you, I was able turn it the right way up again.
