My daughter was on the computer and while she was playing a game the entire screen inverted. I ran "Norton" and it did nothing. I've turned it off and on again, nothing.

Is it inverted mirror image or upside down?
Alt + Ctrl + up or down or left or Right Key (or up, down) will fix the problem on some computers. (XP version)
Or Check the properties file for your graphics card. There may be an option for rotation, normal.

Rotate the monitor 180 degrees. Problem solved.

It can look that way if you have been drinking too much too! :) (just kidding)

A lot of times, the power supply built into the monitor can start to die, resulting in distorted, or yes, even inverted images in *some* resolutions. Usually, 640x480 is the first one to go.

We have fun with a people here at work when they go on vacation! :) To make the joke even better and stumble the help desk, take the images they have for their desktop, inverted it, then save it (so it looks right side up when the rest of the system is upside down). :)
