Thank you Jo,

I fell asleep last night with my puter on and when I got up today to move the mouse my screen came alive. I think that I may have fooled with connections last night before bedtime. Otherwise I would have asked my neighbor to help me with what you suggested. I've never hooked up a computer before and did this time kind of pure luck so it could have been a loose connection? I'm not sure. I'll let you know if it does the same thing again.
