Would help to know what program you are using to view the webcam.
Click the "Camera Settings" button.
There is usually a checkbox for "Invert Image" or "Mirror Vertical." Un-check this box if one exists. If you can't find this checkbox, try searching the other tabs.
I'm using a Chicony webcam on an Acer netbook using "Cheese" and I'm right side up.
