Little help please! Screen turns upside on Mums lappy!

CSMonkeh · 19 Dec 2011 at 11:47

Never seen this before, but on my Mums laptop (Samsung S35-11) randomly the screen flips upside down and the mouse inverts (ie u scroll left on the pad and the curser moves right and vice versa). Uninstalled then re-installed the graphics drivers which seemed to solve it for like a day then started its party trick once more.

Any suggestions?

I thought that but i've been 'assured' that no buttons were pressed. When you fire it up its fine including Windows splash screen but as soon as u get to the login screen it flips.

Sounds like some sort of virus.

Well did do a virus scan and came out with at least half a dozen trojans!!
:eek:

But that wasn't the cause.

**NOOB ALERT**

Didn't know about the ctrl-alt-direction arrow on Win7. But we're sorted now

Your location settings are probably changing to australia. Set it back to uk and it should be fine.

That's the Intel graphics drivers.
