Rotated Desktop

OS: Windows XP Home Ed. SP1 (with latest updates)
COMP: ECS G733 P4 2.6GHz 448MB DDR
Problem: Windows desktop and mouse movements have been rotated 180 degrees from normal.
Events leading to problem: Was ripping my CDs using EAC w/Lame encoder to MP3s and using freedb to automatically create tags. After returning to the comp to start a new disc, I found the computer as described. I immediately ran an antivirus check and ad-aware check...both turned out clean. I am at a hotel with no encryption WIFI network and believe it to be someones jollies to give me this headache.
Antivirus: Norton Antivirus 2003 (all available updates)
Firewall: Norton Personal Firewall 2003 (all available updates)

Hi Donald

I hope you are using an up-to-date and properly configured Firewall on that laptop, at the least.

Using a NAT enabled router?

If no to both of the above, oh dear!!!

Also, check the graphics settings .
