LTspice not working....wont let install
« on: July 25, 2021, 01:29:30 pm »
Hi,
I just tried to open LTspice, like 100's of times before...but now i just get a dialog box saying "preparing library...", and it just hangs for ages....and wont start.
So i just downloaded LTspice again.....now trying to install it...but an "LTspice installer" dialog box comes up...and its going off the screen bottom, and wont let me move it up.....its asking me to "accept"...but theres obviosuly another  button off the bottom of the screen that i cant see...because it wont do anything...how do i resolve this? I cant move this dialog box up....and i cant proceed with the install.

I've solved off the screen problems a few times but can't remember how.

Temporarily scaling or choosing a smaller screen font is probably the easiest, just put the screen sizes back next time it stops at a dialog box.
.  That took much longer than I thought it would.

Pressing the Windows key and up/down/left/right arrows moves the current window or dialog.

Make the screen portrait, switch back to landscape after you've done that box?
It seemed to work on this W10, I could stretch the bottom of the windows down, the mouse use was difficult. :)

"Control -" & "control +"  maybe.

I was going to suggest move the taskbar to the left side, but didn't think it would give you enough extra lines.

I nearly always have it on the left on a widescreen to get the maximum height for the windows, I'd probably move the start button back down to the bottom left of the left taskbar if I could. :phew:
