Hi, I got a strange problem with my W2K os.
At the starting of the PC & W2k screen booting, the monitor screen shows normal.
But, at the window login box, the screen goes upside down. I'm able to log into my account, but everything is in upside down, even the mouse movement.
I tested out with another backup HDD of W2K os and it is normal.
Is there a way to recover this problem without re-formatting the HDD?
Please help!
Thanks.

This was addressed back in June/July 2005. Try this link.
Apparently the key combination is CTRL+ALT+down arrow. I'd assume that to fix it you need to do CTRL+ALT+up arrow.

Hi Stephen,
Thank you so much for your tips. It works.
After a year plus, we need to be reminded of this interesting feature with W2K, to get things in the correct side.
Thanks.
