Windows XP messed up my desktop! How to restore?

I don't even know what I did, except that I had an application not
responding, and so I hit CTR-ALT_DEL and tried to decide which process
to kill. And, like I said, I don't remember which key I hit, the
mouse was frozne, but, in the end, my Windows desktop is now turned
180 degrees upside down. Everyhting works, except that the when I
move the mouse right it goes left, up, it goes down, tec. Plus, of
course, I can't read things upside down.

Maybe this wouldn't be a problem if I were in a space station in
microgravity, but I'm not. How do I restore my window to work
properly?

PS. Fortunately I have Linux installed on the 'puter, so I canpost
this message.

Thanks in advance.

What Graphic adapter are you using? I thought one feature with my
Radeon 9100 that was pretty cool was that you could mess around with
the screen rotation, unfortunately it not work in linux :(.
Nevertheless, if you are using a graphic adapter which supports
rotation, manufacturer usually provides a util to rotate the screen on
their website (its usually incorporated into a group of utils)

I finally fixed this problem on my own. Right clicked on the desktop
and found a menu that had adjustments for screen rotation. Lo and
behold, it was set to 180 degrees. All I had to do was restore it to 0
degress, and the problem was fixed. It was a little hard reading
things upside down, though.

Now as to how it got messed up in the first place

Hi
FYI
By trial and error I discovered ctrl-alt-[arrow key] rotates the desktop to differing orientations.

Thank you so much....I kept trying other people's suggestions and nothing was working. That is, until I found your post. ;)

So thank you so very much! :)
