Aagh. The kitten walked on my laptop's keyboard. Now the screen is upside down. I tried restarting it, but that didn't work. I tried hitting all the buttons.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Did you get this fixed yet?

Try holding CTRL + ALT and pressing one of the ARROW keys.

OMG! I spent 45 minutes trying to fix this very same problem. I didn't even know yoiu could turn your screen sideways. Somehow my cat can hit key combinations that are amazing. He is very talented!!
