The program does not report errors. All functions work, except switching visual modes. Visual modes are very important to me. Can you hire programmers who will add output of messages/Errors to the program? I can provide documentation on programming.

Monitor: ET241Y

DDC/CL - enabled

    The Acer Display Widget's visual modes being disabled usually means the monitor's OSD (On-Screen Display) is locked. To resolve this, you'll need to access the monitor's menu and unlock the OSD. Typically, this involves pressing and holding a joystick or button on the monitor, navigating to the OSD lock setting, and unlocking it.

    Here's a more detailed breakdown:
    1. Locate the Joystick/Button:
    Find the joystick or button on your Acer monitor that controls the OSD menu navigation. It's usually located on the back or side of the monitor.
    2. Access the OSD Menu:
    Press the joystick or button to open the OSD menu.
    3. Navigate to the OSD Lock Setting:
    Use the joystick or buttons to navigate to the "OSD Lock" or a similar setting within the menu. This might be under a "System" or "Settings" section.
    4. Unlock the OSD:
    Select the option to unlock the OSD. The specific wording might vary (e.g., "Unlock OSD," "Off," or "Disabled").
    5. Confirm and Exit:
    Confirm the change and exit the OSD menu. You should now be able to access all visual modes.

    What specific visual modes are not functioning as expected, and what types of error messages or output would you like to see implemented in the program to help diagnose the issue?

    In the screenshot above, you can clearly see that none of the modes are working. It would be great to know the reason rather than guessing based on tea leaves.
