Video FX black screen

Hey,
I setup a 5-box using the Video FX layout. But the content stays black.
More curious, when I alt-tab, I can see the 4 windows that don't show in full screen.
I tried everything: checking/unchecking "Video FX viewers stay in the background", using dx9 and dx11...
I have an onboard nvidia graphics card with Intel processor.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Found the solution, it was because the text scaling was set to 150% in Windows. Cheers

Anyway around this besides changing the font to 100%? It works but now everything but the game is unreadable :o

You can try messing with the compatibility options for "High DPI Awareness" of the dxNothing executable file, but it may not help at all, as Inner Space does not play nice with Windows scaling.

Re: Video FX black screen

For display scaling to work correctly (i.e. to use a setting other than 100%) with InnerSpace, you need to set the following setting on the game.exe, the dxnothing.exe (probably both the one in C:\Program Files (x86)\InnerSpace and C:\Program Files (x86)\InnerSpace\x64), and possibly the ISBoxer Toolkit.exe (mainly so it sizes dropdowns and things correctly, but also so it doesn't get incorrect resolution settings from Windows).
