    I too suffered the black screen phenomenon near the end of todays run. I
    thought it was simply a dead display, but perhaps not. The screen is just
    barely visible in dim light. Can anyone tell us how to restore the screen
    intensity when you can't see what's on the screen?
    -----------------------------
    How did you get to the black screen? Maybe the computer went on a
    power saving mode. When it happened to me I had tried to
    get onto TWILIGHT (Control I) It turns out that the first time I had tried
    to
    use this setting I had moved the slider to the darkest setting.

    If you can get your computer in a dark spot and let your eyes adjust, boot
    up your computer. Open VNS.

    Click VIEW, then SET SCREEN INTENSITY. Let your eyes adjust to
    the almost black screen . You should just make out the outline of the
    slider
    adjustment. Drag the button in the opposite direction -- up to make it
    lighter.
    You should now have a twilight screen that is readable. Then click on
    normal. OR just click on normal, however if you try twilight at some
    future
    time you will end up with the black screen again so you need to fix the
    slider.

    Note: CONTROL I will switch you from normal to twilight and
    CONTROL I again will get you into the night screen. CONTROL I again will
    NOT get you to normal. It just toggles back and forth between night
    and twilight. The secret to get to normal is to just clickt plain I .
