For upside screen try this: Try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F12 and choosing the rotation tab. Should be able to sort it in there

I have spent a lot of time on the phone to them complaining... they reduced my bill for 3 months.... so what I said. Seriously considering changing, but no up to date with whats available.

Got Broadband from NTL through TV which gives me internet access. Telephone also.

Any recommendations ?

We have been on Wanadoo broadband since last August and I have absolutely no complaints at all about them. It's £14.99 a month at the moment

Have you change your sreen resolution lately? If so then this a result of it.

Doing what Roxy has sujested will omly work if your graphics cards supports that feature if it dosn't sort it then got to Microsoft and download the patch for xp

Also if that doesnt work then look for a programme called "australia.exe" its an old trick kids have used in the past.

Also Some graphics chips allow you to rotate the display. Check the control panel for the graphics card [Control Panel > Display Settings > Advanced] and disable rotation if it's an option.

Within Windows XP, certain video drivers or graphics card chipsets supporting 180 degree screen rotation can cause the Windows XP display to be presented upside down. This can be (but is not always) tied to lowering the screen resolution in some accessibility programs.

To revert to a right-side up display, hold down the CTRL, ALT and UP (arrow) keys.

Another option is to contact Microsoft for a fix.
