@fxthomles Is your computer a pc or mac? What version operating system do you have? If you have a pc please post your computer's dxdiag. Thank you

@fxthomles Hey, if you post the info Roberta requests we should be able to get things going in the right direction.

Also as a test, when your monitor switches off can you try pressing Ctrl & Enter? If you're on Mac you can use Command+Control+F on OS X 10.10.x or later.


Thanks. .
