Introduction to "Valvalyzer" a Windows workstation vacuum tube and stage simulation software package written by Jim Reese from AmpCad.com

@kevinkr, First, there are no hidden areas in the 1080p presentation. What is so interesting is that when I set my monitor to 1080p resolution, I see a pristine layout from my software's graphic rendering. I want to thank you for sending me screenshots of your laptop, because I can visually compare your view with mine. And what I see is that your laptop display has really big differences from mine. Mainly I see a horizontal distortion of scale that affects text size and positioning. So in my cleaning process I try to spread out the width of controls that contain text but it seems to be an endless battle. Weird. I assume your horizontal resolution is 1920.

Next, I was able to reproduce your discrepancy using the Stage Map. I spent all morning debugging and verifying proper screen annotation.

And to the subject of Single Ended power stage simulation, I am on it. Of course this is the sort of thing that I live for; another major software triumph. This will have me in the zone for several days to come.

Now I want to say something about @Citizen124032' post. I think it was mean, craven, hostile, and shallow and he even suggested I should be removed from the system. This is unacceptable. I am inclined to stop posting on diyAudio unless his account is revoked. We can continue to communicate on my app using VMail. We can't let a punk like this stink up the wonderful dialog we have been having... enjoying the brilliant insights and observations your members have shared with me. Jim Reese.
 
I can't disagree with your comments about that post, but as a participant in this thread that is my only role here. Headwinds are inevitable in public forums, but I really enjoy the opportunity as do a number of others to work with you. Please use the report button if you feel that is warranted.

Note: Yes, monitor resolution is 1920 x 1080 GPU is Intel UHD series for the laptop screen.

It's a rather disappointing vacuum dream, installation stalling (on W10), issues, issues, issues.
No results at all. Better go for the graph paper & slide rule.
Ever thought of beta-testing with siblings?
Removed from the system.
Reminds me of the Fleischmann and Pons 1986 discovery of high-temperature superconductivity.
Could be promising, but we're in the solid state era. No revolution expected.

Other members have had better results, but it is still in experimental beta, and is free.
If you don't want to participate in the adventure, then don't. :cop:
 
Downloaded Valvalyzer, ran the updater, started the app - had not a single issue.
I started from scratch i.e. uninstalled the installer 1.1 and removed the Valvalizer folder in C:/ then installed again. Same issues. Something must block the starting of the app, but can't figure out what could block it. I verified again if Frameworks 4.8.1 runtime is available and it is.
