Inner Space build 5432, now available as a development build of Inner Space, may correct this issue. This is tested (working) on a Samsung RC512 laptop with this build. I fixed a few bugs to get it working.

Right click IS, select Patcher, check "Download development (test) patches" then close and restart Inner Space. After it patches, it should work.

Let me know, thanks guys

IS Dev Build 5433, using the -d3d9 flag games launch and run fine.

Thanks a *ton* for getting this working. It's really fucking awesome the lengths you go to support crazy ass hardware configs to make your customers happy. It's much appreciated.

I have a MSI FX603 and the 5433 build works great! I am running Windows 7 and the 266.01 Nvidia drivers. I ran two copies of Champions Online and could see that both were using Nvidia while everything else was using the Intel. As I play with it more, I'll let you know if anything doesn't work. I have really only scratched the surface of the features you have available though.

There is no way I would have switched off of ISBoxer even if this couldn't have been gotten to work. Your program is just too good to give up. I think it is great that you got it working and that I'll now be able to add in my laptop. Especially since some of the MMOs that are coming out in the near future will probably require more hardware and push my backup boxes 'off the grid'.

Thanks again for making a great program that definitely enhances my gaming enjoyment.

Woohoo!

Yep, that fixed it for me ... Thanks a million, Lax!!!!!!!!
