Upside down screen display Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
My screen displays upside down! I run Vista on a Toshiba Satellite laptop. On two of the three user profiles set up, the screen now displays upside down and the mouse operates in reverse directionally! My daughter cannot remember how she managed this creativity so I'd be very grateful if anyone knows the solution. Not sure if it is a Windows option on something on the Laptop.
Thanks for your help
GerrySystem Configuration: Windows Vista

I have also noticed that if you on a network, you have to log in on the upside down login screen and then use the ctrl alt and up arrow. My friend was not  able to change the screen until he had completely log on

Thank you.  My cat has a habit of sitting on my husband's laptop.  She often changes things and fortunately he has a good sense of humour.  I was able to google the solution from my computer and, thankfully, I still have a cat.
