OMG this totally worked! I changed the resolution as described in other posts and it was still a blank screen. Then I hovered over the center of the blank screen and moved my cursor around until it changed as it does when you will type text. I hit control v and pasted the copied code and then hovered in the bottom right hand of the screen and the cursor turned into a hand as if you would select a "next" button, I clicked and VIOLA--it activated. This is soo crazy, but it worked!
