Ok. I dont know how the hell i managed to do this. But i was using the down arrow key on my laptop to scroll down a page. And the laptop screen suddenly switched upside down. Anyone know what caused this? Maybe pressed a key by mistake? How do i turn it back round?

The Ctrl-Alt-Direction key sequence is supposed to be used for changing your workspace. On my computer at work it changes the screen orientation.
Ctrl-Alt-Up – right side up
Ctrl-Alt-Right - 90 degrees
Ctrl-Alt-Down – 180 degrees
Ctrl-Alt-Left – 270 degrees
(If that doesn’t work, try Ctrl-Shift-R)
But it looks like ATI Intel copied the keystroke for the same “feature” in their video card drivers.
To fix the issue press Ctrl-Alt-Up.
To permanently fix the problem go to:
Start >> Control Panel >> Display >> Settings >> Advanced and turn off "enable hot keys"

It's nothing to do with the version of windows, its the intel graphics drivers.
