I grilled my daughter, who still proclaims her innocence.

Even the mouse arrow - if you move the mouse down, the arrow goes up. Move the mouse to the left, and the arrow goes right.

The icons are upside down and words must be read from right to left. The start button is in the upper right instead of the normal lower left.

I went through some things (Control Panel, etc...) but can't find anything.

Does this situation sound familiar to anyone?
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

What sort of computer? PC? Tablet? Could it be this? If so, it is easy to correct:

It could also be a virus, but if your graphics device supports the actions described at the link above then it is probably nothing as bad as that. Some additional comments at:

Balducci, I could KISS you! Smile

It did end up being the "Control" "Alt" cure. It just hit me that I should have Googled first, but regardless of that, thank you for the assistance. It is MUCH appreciated!
