I had this problem, too. My cat jumped off of my shoulder and landed on my keyboard and turned my screen upside down. Try Control, Alt & the Up Arrow. Good luck.

Try rebooting, that may help (and it looks as if the cat sat on the caps lock button...you might want to hit that button again!).

LOL! I can emphasize! My kitty does that to me all the time. Thanks to him, I've found new functions to keys I never knew about! I hope some one answers this so I can use it for future reference too. :o)
