Kret Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Are we talking about a laptop? I assume this is the most likely case, but since it can happen to desktops too I'll explain what the problem must be. This is mostly due to some obscure option in the graphics control panel that was probably installed with the drivers. In case of laptops, the Intel Extreme Graphics control is a common one. Open it and browse it for any option that might indicate a flipped screen or reversed screen. The name itself will vary but the option should be around there. If you give us more info on your machine, in particular the graphics card, we'll be able to help you further (probably) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudger54 Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 My system is a Dell desktop pc with a intel intergrated card, but i will have a look at that solution cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kret Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 This seems to be a feature in many Intel graphic cards, probably related in the use of certain external projectors where the image was reversed, so the cards have the option to reverse the image prior output, unfortunately it had a side effect with games. Luckely, you just have to toggle the option on/off to put the image straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raion Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Someone said a while back to use the 70Hz refresh rate, then the graphics will not be upside down.I guess. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudger54 Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Cheers the problem was solved by setting it to 70mhz, ican get on playing now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raion Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I suppose while playing you could turn your monitor upside down, and have a real alien feeling with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
