Thanks for taking an interest! 
I found this page that explains how to change the default DPI in Windows 7: https://pattersonsupport.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13103/~/how-to-change-dpi-settings-in-windows-7
It will give you an idea of what it does, but it's quicker to try it Basically, without lowering your monitor's resolution, you can make various windows elements (text, icons, etc) much larger. It's great if you are sat more than a meter from you computer.
Aquaria seems to hate a DPI other than the default 100%. Basically, nothing renders (black window). Sometimes I can hear the sounds, but I haven't worked out a pattern.

If you are unable to see the intro and the Bit Blot logo, it could be because you've set your DPI setting in Windows to something other than the default (100%). That was my problem that was preventing me from playing I use Windows 8 64-bit, in case it matters. I also use False Genesis's unofficial update (thanks BTW!), but this is probably irrelevant.
I hope this helps someone! I'm having a lot of fun so far with this game. I just got the first pet
