Issue

When opening up the NBS software on a high resolution monitor, the icons/windows within it appears very small and certain areas are not accessible.

Resolution

This issue is caused by a high screen resolution on a small physical display. This results in Windows applying text scaling to your screen. NBS Software is designed to work up to 125% text scaling, but recent hardware can see this set as high as 300%, causing display irregularities.

Should you encounter this, the solution is to turn down the text scaling. The below screenshots show the location of this in both Windows 7 and Windows 10:
