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

So I used configuration options in a desktop shortcut that I created for the executable in the c:\valvalyzer folder. I essentially overrode my default display scaling but unfortunately the minimum is 100%. It's fully functional except for my display resolution issue. (needs display with1200 vertical pixels to display correctly)

Note that there is no copy of Valvalyzer.ico (desktop icon) in the directory with the executable - I got it out of the updater directory. I suspect the path problems are specific to W11, but no way to test.

Some GPU apparently allow you to create a virtual monitor with higher resolution, but my GPU does not support this option. I was hoping. Note that graphics scaling to less than 100% is not supported in W10 or W11 OS.

The .NET Frameworks installation on my (older) workstation took ages, so I cancelled this installation, as I don't want unneccesary overhead on this machine when using the software I dedicated this workstation to. I'll check on my Win11 laptop again soon.
