            So what I did was format the sd card and use win32 disc imager to flash the sd card, put it my my Pi Zero and it worked.
            After install I got rid of some stuff via the config file as I didn’t want all that stuff on my MM.
            Cheers!

              Changed the display_rotate setting back to 0 but the display is still turned. Any suggestions?

                  @Mikgabo I unplugged the pi, removed the SD, and changed the rotate setting. Then, I put it back in and plugged the pi back in.

                    @greenwaydev I’m thinking you aren’t making the adjustment in the right location (possibly).

                    Try this from terminal:

                    sudo nano /boot/config.txt
                    

                    and add the following to the file. Where you add it doesn’t really matter:

                    # Rotate display virtically
                    display_rotate=0

                        the type the command:

                        sudo reboot
