Does anyone know who to correc the problem with a screen and all the icons being upside down, only way to operate computer is to put monitor upside down. Someone said to go go properties and click on graphics, however, I do not have that option when I do that. Is there anyway else to get to graphics maybe? help.

If its a vga monitor check the pins on the connectors. If not Access the menu on your monitor and try to reset/recall the original settings.

Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

1. Right click on desktop, click on 'Properties'

2. Click on the settings tab

3. Click on the 'Advanced' button, should be in the bottom right corner, or top left corner for you ;)

4. Click on ALL tabs, go through each and every one of them, looking at the options.

If that's what you've tried and doesn't work, maybe there is a setting on the monitor itself?

You could try re-installing the drivers for it, you might want to check that you've GOT the correct drivers anyway.

I think tagzhim is correct. There is a sort of hotkey that should correct the problem.
