I am about to try this. I am just a bit concerned that it might break something. How safe is it?

Mod. You can delete this post if you like. I've decided to put my question in a new thread. [e digicons]

I have only just discover this and about to give it a try.

Great album. [e digicons]:D[/e]

Thanks. I'll give it a go.

You do NOT delete programs from your computer. You uninstall them using the uninstaller which you will find in: Control Panel > Programs and Features. Look for Start8, then double click it to uninstall. If you have previously tried to delete the files or folder, then you will have to reinstall Start8 prior to uninstalling it correctly.

[quote who="myonno" reply="2" id="3323128"] Yes, Avira says the file "C:\Windows\explorer.exe" was found with suspicious malware "HEUR/Modified.SystemFile". [/quote] If you Google: HEUR/Modified.SystemFile you will see that it has nothing to do with Start8. But a strange thing is that it is only Avira that seems to report this. Not sure why this is, but I'll let you investigate it more.

One thing you could do, Neil is to add the shortcut to the Start Menu along with the Start8 shortcut. I added it manually.

[quote who="davidklarz" reply="1" id="3318289"]ok for an upgrade from one version to another will it do it without uninstall the current version? So just download and install? thanks[/quote] Yeah mate. Just install straight over the top of the previous version. Reboot.

Thank you. I will check it out. [e digicons]:)[/e]

I tested it on my computer. The Start Button does flash when I press the Windows key, but it doesn't hide itself. But I wouldn't expect anything different considering that I still have a context menu open.

Thanks. So where do we find these new registry settings?

You can add your own custom image any time you want. Grab it from Classic Shell if you like it.

It doesn't search through Outlook items like in Windows 7, unfortunately.

If I open the standard Windows 8 Menu using the Windows 8 Menu shortcut in Start8, the Windows 8 menu opens fine. But when I go up to the top left corner of the screen to go back to the Desktop, if I have an application minimized on the Taskbar it restores that application over the top of the Desktop. This bug has been evident for awhile now.

For the record, my power options stayed the same after upgrading to v1.1. No problem here. Could it be something else you installed?

Drag & drop is working fine for me with v1.1. And, by the way. I always install over the top. It would be a shoddy app if you had to uninstall every time before upgrading.

They both have square corners. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]

I am just curious as to what style Start8 users use. I have tried both Windows 7 Style and Windows 8 Style, but I much prefer the Windows 7 Style. How about you? [e digicons]O:)[/e]

BETA 3 available. Or should I say, version 1.1 RC. [e digicons] Cool. I will try it out. [e digicons]:D[/e]

[quote who="DRHodgson" reply="30" id="3294268"]There seems to be some confusion over the version number with this beta. The original v1.09 beta actually shows as v1.1, presumably v1.10, beta and this one, despite being referred to as v1.09.2 beta, actually shows as v1.1 beta 2 in Start8's config About menu!!! So which is it?[/quote] Yeah, I have been confused, too.

I'm still not even sure myself, mate. So, good question. I have bought a license for 2 computers, so far. Is it 1 license per computer? And I hope they have fixed the licensing debacle up where you couldn't buy more than 1 license per account unless you sent it to another account as a gift.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="1" id="3280614"]"Start8 UNLOAD" from a command prompt in the Start8 directory.[/quote] That's a handy one to know. Just for anyone else, to load it again, it is just: "Start8 LOAD". [e digicons]:D[/e]
