Best way to flip it is to turn it into a MAC!

Well....that was helpful. :rolleyes:

Try pressing the Ctrl + Alt keys simultaneously, then tap one of the arrow keys on the right side of your keyboard 'til the screen display rights itself.

This has happened to me before and if I remember correctly I think you hold down the control and alt keys at the same time and push the arrow key that corresponds to the direction the screen needs to go to get right side up again. It could be just control and the arrow key or it could be just alt and the arrow key but I'm pretty sure it is both. I just can't remember for sure but it is one of those combinations. Experiment with those keys and you should figure out the right combination.
