Your problem will probably be either with the monitor or the video card (if there is one). If you look at the back of the computer, there are two places in which the monitor can be connected. If it is connected to the motherboard, then there is not video card.

If there is not video card, then I would check the settings on the monitor. If adjusting the monitor controls does not resolve the problem, then you probably have a bad monitor.

If there is a video card, let us know and we will address that issue.

Good Luck...

I am most happy to be of aid to a young man of 83 (I'm getting there myself all to quickly

). Should he need further assistance, we will be happy to help.
