What does it mean when everything on a monitor is up-side-down

Although fuctional, I look like a pleeb trying to read it ......

It means everything is upside down. Did you try turning it the right way up?

Other than that, check its settings. Probably something was set wrong.

Right-click on the desktop, go to Properties, Settings, Advanced. Depending on which gfx card you have (ATI, Nvidia, etc) there should be a setting there somewhere, something like "Rotate".

everything on the screen of my work PC went upside down when the tech upgraded the OS to XP
none of the "property" adjustments worked, he'd to locate new drivers from the monitor/ graphic card (was about 3 yrs old0

Except with the vents blocked, it overheats and bursts into flames. Just another upside-down monitor accident related statistic.

the question wasnt about causing a fire hazard and in fairness turning a monitor upside down wouldnt block the vents

In fairness now (also), my post was hardly the most serious ever!
Chill dude!

And it used to happen! (maybe)

Stories also persist about early PC monitors that could have internal electronic components 'fried' (even setting the monitor on fire if left long enough) by programming the display adapter to use out of specification frequencies for the monitor. A variation on the latter is the 'blow up a monitor by stopping the guns from scanning so they bombard a continuous beam at one tightly focussed spot' claim.

Maybe someone with a weird sense of humour took your eyes out during the night and put them back in upside down as a prank. If you dont have a prankster in you life I'd say the rotate function is your man.

Nearly as much fun as I had with a friend's Linux laptop:

Identifier  "Keyboard0"
   Driver      "kbd"
   Option       "XkbModel" "pc105"
   Option       "XkbLayout" "fr"

Everything is up-side-down!!!
