Prank programs can do this, as well as certain more vicious malware.
I understand that some integrated graphics machines have a function (for Dell Ctrl-Alt-uparrow/downarrow) that will do this. What hardware is your friend using? (Computer, monitor, graphics card)
Has he run an online virus check and thorough adware spyware cleanups? (I like both Panda and TrendMicro Housecall for the OLAV, and Ad Aware and Spybot S&D for spyware/adware.
If those have been taken care of and the prob. continues, let us know, OK?
Good luck.
