Default Icons are upside down...how to correct


I had a customer bring in a laptop running XP. All the icons are upside down
and the start menu is on the right instead of the left. BIOS and splash screen
are normal. How do I correct this?
Thanks, Mike

What kind of video card? I know that nvidia cards have settings to
rotate the desktop, specifically for LCD monitors that can rotate
(though I never understood the upside down setting. As for the start
menu, after you unlock it (or if it is already unlocked) you can drag it
to any side of the desktop. That's all I can think of.

Check to see if it's set up to run a digital projector. In many cases the
projector can be set on a table or hung upside down from the ceiling and the
desktop display will match the image from the projector.
