inverting display?
dmottaway - 14/3/07 at 08:47 AM

my fathers computer is running XP. last evening , he laid something on the keyboard, pressing some keys.

The display went inverted! took me a while of hunting through the "control panel" to finally get it right.

Question now is - what keys did he press to cause this? Is there a key code to invert? If so, is there a code to restore to "normal"?

thanx

Ctrl+Alt+Arrow keys.

Sometimes works, depends what graphics card you have. Works on all ATI Extreme cards though.

Even more Fun When you have Romote access to someones PC.

Switch it Await the resulting call to the help desk when they call switch it back.

Often done insted of hitting the CTRL+ ALT+DEL

Usually there is an option to disable the HOT keys right click the ATI icon in there somwhere depending on model.
