Go in to the video card properties and set the rotation to normal. Depending on the video card you might have to select rotate a few times until it is back to normal. This could also be a monitor setting. Check the video card properties.
Also try holding down CTRL+ALT and pressing the down arrow key. This is another way of rotating the screen depending on your video card setting.
on mine, CTRL-ALT down arrow put's it upside down, the up makes it right :)
how is it if you plug an external screen ?
If video card settings do not work
this can be accomplished by hotkeys in XP:
for normal windows : Ctrl + Alt + <Up arrow>
and for 180 deg it is : Ctrl + Alt + <Down arrow>
In Windows 7
Go to Display Settings panel and then switch the orientation

the problem is she can't sign in = everything is upside down and holding ctrl=alt+down arrow does nothing..
it is reallt odd her display is completely upside down and she can;t find a way out! she can't even enter her password to get into the system.

Have you tried to boot into safemode to see if this issue still exists?
