Cannot get to Win 8.1 Metro Screen

from Stardock Forums

I installed Start8 on my new MSI gaming notebook. I have the start button set to the Start8 menu, and that's fine.

However, I wanted the Windows key to send me back to the Win 8 Metro screen--but I can't find a setting to do this.

I tried "... shows Windows 8 menu", but that gives me something that looks like en empty Start8 menu.

Not sure if this is relevant, but this notebook has only a RIGHT side Windows key.

Thanks..but those are the settings I first tried.

Strangely, when I click the Start8 Menu item "Windows 8 Menu" it works perfectly.

I even have the option "Show the Windows 8 menu when I press the right Windows key"

But all I get is a stripped down version of the Start8 Menu.

As I said, I have no left Windows key on this computer, and I suspect that the two Windows key scan to difference codes.

It worked perfectly on my previous, Alienware M14x notebook, but this new MSI GS60 Ghost Pro just doesn't like Start8.
