EW7 Black Powerpoint

Hey all.  I've been using EW for years. We do not use the subscription model, we purchased it and have it running on 2 machines at church.  I have an issue where all powerpoints have 1 of 2 issues.


1. They will show black and not display via EW at all

OR

2.  The screen shows 1/4 of the presentation slide.



The power points are built ON that same machine but when i run it through EW7  the resolution skews


OS: Windows 10

Ram: 32 GB

Video: GTX 1660

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9400F C

EW7 Build: 7.4.1.9  (non subscription based)


So my 2 questions

1.  Why would EW7 display them as black, regardless of using the option in EW to use the presenter or full

2.  when it does work, why would the resolution of the powerpoint be skewed to 1/4 of the screen (too large).


I've used all the troubleshooting on the EW site so i'm here asking for other solutions.

I have no idea about the black problem, but the skewed display and only 1/4 of the screen is usually corrected by this support article.  If that doesn't help, then you should open a support ticket so that actual EW Support gets involved (I'm just a user doing what I can to assist other users).

Thanks bro Randkfisher12!

Ok so the DPI thing fixed powerpoint in easy worship. Still black over NDI but it's a start.  

Kyle, I suggest opening a Support Ticket to get actual EW Support Personel involved. See the Support Home link at the bottom of the page to do that.
