Dear David F., David B. and Rick, Thanks very much for your responses to my monitor screen not showing! I resolved my problem, by simply doing what you said! I shut off everything I disconnected the monitor, from the computer and power supply. Turned on the computer. Then turned off the computer Then reconnected the monitor again Then started the computer again,and Bang! The monitor was on and with a perfect picture! (Or so I am told by my better half! This list is fantastic for helping folks! Especially "Slow Bucks" like myself! LOL!
