Hi guys I called Apple and we reset my computer with command option p r. It didn't help. It's beginning to look like I may have a damaged display. This is because everything else works fine on my Mac. I'm going to test, I hope, another Focus 14 on my Mac and see what happens. I hope to be able to do this tomorrow.
