    If the above key commands work and you have an Intel Extreme Graphics card and you don't want this to happen again, try the following:

    1. right click on your desktop
    2. choose Properties
    3. click on the Settings tab
    4. click Advanced
    5. click on Intel Extreme Graphics tab
    6. click on Graphics Properties
    7. click Display Settings
    8. uncheck Enable Rotation
    9. click Apply

    Hi

    Not knowing what graphic card you have, please let us know as this will make the instructions easy to give to you.

    But if one from Nvidia or ATi open up the control panel for the card, and look for the rotate screen menus to reset back.

    apologies for butting in but one of our cats stepped on my husband's open laptop and flipped the screen so everything's upside down. the laptop is a banobo thinkpad with Vista. how do we return the screen to normal?

    You either do it from your video driver control panel or find the person playing the prank on you. Lots of prank apps can do it. I remember doing it with subseven back in the days (;
