    I managed to spill coffee over my keyboard and stupidly wiped it up without switching the comp off or disconnecting the keyboard.

    I've managed to invert the screen and now I can't get it back to normal.

    I'm running Widows 7. I'm getting a headache standing on my head.

    Help please.

    Try doing a system restore back to a good backup date.

    Right click on the desktop > Personalization > Display Settings > Advanced Settings

    It should be in advanced settings somewhere for rotation

    Press ctrl+alt and the arrow key in which direction you want to flip your screen.

    That's it! Some people are suggesting really extreme measures :| We used to do this all the time at school whenever someone left their computer.
