[Question] An issue with CC

I'm sure this has been answered before, and i do apologize for wasting anyone's time with this but…

I'm currently helping set up a tekkit server[And yes I know, I could post my question on the tekkit forums, but I would rather get help from the CC pros on this one.] and I'm having an issue with the CC monitors, no matter how I tweak my graphics settings,no matter what programs I run,I can never see the text that should be displaying on them.

So I suppose my question would be: "Is there any way to fix this issue?"

Thank you to anyone who decides to help me,and again, I apologize if I'm wasting anyone's time.

name this file text:

term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
print("Line 1")
print("Line 2") --Replace line(1-3) with text to display
print("Line 3") --Add more text by adding new prints

Name this file startup:

shell.run("monitor", "side", "text") --REplace side with what side monitor is on .
