So the bottom half of the screen is displayed at the top?

And the top at the bottom?

Could this be that you have rotated it by accident

I imagine this is driver related, first thing i'd suggest is to update you GFX card drivers to the latest release and update your directX install.

this is assuming the image is fine in windows
