Sirs

Firstly, thank you for your assistance to date. You might recall my monitor would fade. Seems the monitor, not the box/tower, was the problem as I replaced it with an ancient but adequate monitor and no fading...but this f..king pop-up (see attached image) pops up and often stays popped up. Sorry to cuss.

The Internet tells me:

1. Go to Display and turn off auto brightness etc button. There is none.
2. On external Monitors i.e this one, the brightness button is located on the monitor. Can't find it on this one.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

That does not look like "windows".
But monitor..
What is your monitor? The model?
They have either a few buttons, or a NIPPLE button, that does everything (press, hold, move it up/down/left/right) all in one button.
Once you find it, try to navigate around and disable any "auto/power-savings" options.

I found a button.Pressed it and held it. Up came a sign about auto adjust. The pop up disappeared for a few seconds and came back! But it's something. Thanks.

The above PDF on page 23 shows the osd options.
You could try: the menu button > system > reset all. To see if it refreshes the screen.
One thing it might be is the resolution <> frequency from windows not fully compatible with your current monitor..
For example your previous one was 75hz and this one operates only on 60hz.
So..
If you go into windows desktop > click somewhere empty with right mouse button > display proprieties > you should find the resolution and frequency.
We can see in the PDF manual that your model should be 1024x768.
The refresh rate says 60/70/75. So you can choose one that your PC can handle. Most likely the 75hz is fine

Try to find the most recent driver for this monitor. It should have basic controls in it.

I found "device manager" - Monitor - no buttons and the message is the Monitor is working properly!

It can be the Windows device manager. Make sure it's the brand's device manager. Usually they have basic controls.

I'm looking! I'm looking! I've been looking for days! We still have two laptops and a Tablet we can use but this is the Adult Computer.

There has to be some buttons on there, one may be stuck. You could unplug it and hold the power button down to drain all power, then plug back in and turn on
