anyone ever have their screen/monitor flip upside down? It's like you're standing on your head browsing the net. It's a PC running Win XP. We tried system restore, and ctrl+alt+up. Any suggestions?

Sounds like a Pepsi Syndrome.

You might want to find the manual for the monitor. It sounds more like a hardware issue than anything else.

Are you sure you don't have someone in your living space fucking with you?

Many flatscreen monitors rotate 90 degrees for easier document reading, but I don't know if any rotate 180 degrees.

Try CTRL-ALT up arrow

That's the secret code for our Dell laptops at work. Its fun to cruise by people's desks and flip their screen when they're not looking.

It's not a function of windows nor of the hardware, it's a function of the software that was probably added when you added the monitor. Is there a thing in what would be your lower right corner that says something like "1280x800 AGP" or something that sounds monitor-like? Try right-clicking on that and see if it says something like "orientation" or "horizontal/vertical flip"? I'll look when I get to work tomorrow, if you haven't figured it out by then.
