XP Login Trouble

When XP boots up and prompts me for a login ID and password, the box is upside down and backwards, sort of like looking at it through a mirror upside down. I am just looking for away to fix it. Thanks for the help.

What is the history behind this issue?
Is it a new install or a pc that has been working fine? etc

It was a problem I inherited today at work. The laptop was an IBM Thinkpad. I have fixed it now. The problem with the view is that under the advanced setting for the video card the screen rotation was set at 180 deg rotation.

I read that a Ctrl-Alt-uparrow will fix this. It's seems to work only on certain graphics cards.
All the other arrow keys will turn the screen in their respective direction.
