This is support for people who have screens which can be rotated
physically. I'm thinking of getting one. Presumably, you press
ctrl+alt+{whichever arrow key corresponds to where you want the top of
the display to be} then rotate the screen. Some screens have sensors,
which do this automatically (in conjunction with drivers that know about
it).
I've always been tempted to see if anything happens when I do this. but
I'm too scared that it will get stuck that way (if the wind stops
blowing, for example) and I'll spend the rest of my career standing on
my head.

This does work on other XP machines. If it doesn't work, the problem may
be that the number lock key needs to be toggled.

Do the reverse the original mistake, which is CRL+ALT+ up arrow

THIS REALLY WORKS! THIS REALLY WORKS!
I have a Dell Studio with integrated video card and this fixed it in 2
seconds. Do this first, it's so easy!
