my screen is sideways how do i turn it back

Sideways Screen:

Try pressing Ctrl + Alt + UP Arrow Key, or try Ctrl + Alt + and a different Arrow Key.

If that does not work: Right-click on empty Desktop > Graphics Options > Rotation.

    What does 0.o mean?

    Being able to rotate the screen is controlled by the graphics card manufacturer and has nothing to do with Microsoft.
