Can Windows 7 boot upside down?

Retromatic · 11 Aug 2011 at 00:09

A seemingly random and somewhat bizzare question, but I need to get Windows to boot upside down on the monitor, so the bootscreen is facing the other way up.

Any ideas how I can do it please?

Just the bootscreen? Because you can turn the entire monitor upside down in the driver settings for the graphics card.

Or theres stuff in here

Uhm, turn the monitor upside down?

Also, why only boot? You can use drivers to rotate once in the OS.

Make a custom bootscreen.

Thanks people, it's for a monitor I have mounted in a cocktail arcade cab.

The viewing angle is better upside down in my case, I had planned on making a custom boot screen - will have a look at the links.

PhillyDee, yup just for that - I was already aware you could turn it upside down from within Windows (although I don't yet know how to do it) but will look into that too.

Turn GUI Boot off in msconfig boot options and you wont even see the boot screen to need to turn it upside down.

Well, this is another option but sometimes like to have a "Mame" or other bootup screen - but that is handy to know, I may well go without one - thanks.
