[Solved] Worked for two weeks, now Nothing happens

from Stardock Forums

So, I installed and activated Start8 a few weeks ago... no problem at all with that... and it's been working perfectly.

 

now just out of the blue today, it doesn't do anything when i click to open the menu. The configure window won't open. Nothing related to Start8 will work for me...

 

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing. Nothing changes. I'm completely stumped. I haven't installed anything new lately, I haven't updated windows... I don't know what Version of Start8 I have, because I cant open up anything to see it.

Download the latest version from Stardock and install that.

From the symptoms it sounds like your version was corrupted in some way.

No they have not.

If you are encountering any problems simply download the latest version from Stardock and reinstall it as it sounds like your install is corrupted.

I can assure you Microsoft have not blocked Start8.

Well, I still don't get it... but... Installing the Beta version worked. I dont get why it stopped working and reinstalling my old version didn't work... but... oh well.
