LTspice wont start and wont install

[cupoftea]

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.

Looks like you need to buy a new computer, Treez.

But seriously: did you uninstall your previous version? Have you restarted your computer?

To see offscreen buttons, I press ctrl-minus-sign. This zooms the screen out.
To magnify press ctrl-plus-sign.

Are you installing on a VM running Windows 11? If so you may need to load guest editions for W11, if it exists to get the screen size right.
