You could always turn the monitor upsidedown

Try deleting all the temp files and then restart pc. Should work.

You can also rotate the mouse, so that cable faces you for the time being for easier navigation.

when i restart the comp,the hp logo in the begining is ok.but windows is loading upside down.....it says...try restarting in safe mode,.let me log oout and try this.i will be back in a minute.
Posted by govigov
Oh man, is it a branded pc? If nothing works, reinstall windows! (Not format and install, just reinstall.) Half an hours job.

u mean the cd....HP restoreplus (sttart with this cd for restore)....
or the cd titled....operating system microsoft winxp sp2
which one the first or second????

you cannot reinstall windows on the same partition can you? you would end up with 2 Windows' on the same drive..

ohh.please somebody tell me if thats true???i was about to put that operating system microsoft cd.\\\
plasem help me out....i want to fix it as soon as possible.
Posted by dr_thug
will that produce 2 copies??????????????
Posted by govigov
@mero, i'm sure you can. Just run setup and it will copy all the default settings. If you are installing it, then what you say is true. @thug, b4 re installing, since you are using xp, enter in safe mode and do a system restore.
Posted by dr_thug
i cant enter in the safe mode in this dmn new computer.how do i do it.i cant find it.
Posted by govigov
If you enter in safe mode, a window will pop up telling you something. You will have to click on yes or no. (I dont remember which, but i'm sure i have clicke it wrong a number or times.)

govi pls tell me how can i restart in safe mode.
Posted by Anden
Press f8 MANY times very fast right after the hp logo disappears to enter safe mode. Anyway, what graphics card have you got?
Posted by govigov
Restart your computer, after the hp logo, start hitting the F8 key (keep on hitting it (dont press and hold)) and you will find the boot options.
Posted by dr_thug
