I want everything on my monitor to be upsidedown. Any ideas how?

If you are using an nvidia based card, go into your display settings, specifically the nvidia control panel. There is an option to "Rotate Display". You can rotate either monitor 90 degrees to the left, 90 to the right, or 180 rotation (inverted). You want 180 inverted.

I don't have a graphics card... it's built in to my motherboard so that option under control panel isn't there...

Ouch! on-board video = :(
1. Put hands on sides of monitor
2. Flip 180 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise.
3. Set down monitor.
4. Enjoy!

I know it sounds bad but I don't need a video card (I'm running MAME only). Is there no other way to flip the screen?

Are you using Mame32? if so, you can go to Options--> Display and change the rotation yourself.

Nope... I'm just running regular command line MAME (I think). I'm not that computer savvy (obviously) and it took me forever to figure out how to run the front-end (Gamelauncher) with MAME...

Ok, download this version of MAME then. It's the same program, but run with a Windows GUI rather than command lines. MUCH easier to use!

Can I still use Gamelauncher as my Front End?

Can I still use Gamelauncher as my Front End? I doubt it, but you probably won't want to.

If you have an intel based onboard chipset, you should still have the rotate option.
Right click your desktop, select properties, and go through the tabs until you find one for your onboard video. You may have to go to the Setting tab first and then hit advanced...
It'll take some sniffing, and I cant give you much more help than that withouth specifics.
