MM causing problems on my 8.1 install also

from Stardock Forums

MM caused problems with my system also.  The System would stall and I also got the program overlay problem.

Some Windows files got corrupted, as a result,  and I had to do a complete reinstall.

Start8 seems to be ok.  I have not tried Decor yet.

Obviously, I will not install again, until you correct it.

The new search feature in 8.1 is very good, (my opinion) if you have not tried it yet.

We are working on a ModernMix update and I expect that it will show up early next week due to the US holiday this week.

Decor8 has a beta update for 8.1 (1.05) which takes advantage of some of the OS changes and as does Start8 (1.17).

No windows files should have been corrupted by ModernMix (it doesn't alter any), but you may have caused some sort of HD corruption by resetting a machine while it was doing something.

Generally I would recommend against the installation of Microsoft beta OS updates as from the reports we are seeing it looks like they may have broken an unusual number of things even down to causing performance issues in games.

I was aware you were working on fixing the problem, from previous posts.

It probably was my fault that 8.1 broke.  I did not mean to imply that MM caused

the file corruption .  

Anyway 8.1 is running fine now (without MM installed)  There really are some valuable

improvements, included in 8.1.  If it crashes again, I'm going to wait for a later version.

Thanks

Same, paying customer here and while I can't say I'm surprised that 8.1 broke modernmix I would love if stardock would get on this.
