Reply to Explorer restarts when searching from the Start 8 search box in Start8 Stardock Forums

Has anyone had their computer shut down and restart since using Start8 v1.03a? I restored back to Start8 v1.03 and haven't had a problem since. I am not totally sure if it was Start8 v1.03a causing it, but my investigation seems to be pointing me to that.

Could Start8 Be Made To Search Through Outlook? in Start8 Stardock Forums

Windows 7 search used to also search through Microsoft Outlook emails, calendar items etc., but I noticed that Start8 doesn't search through Outlook items. I found this feature in Windows 7 to be very useful. Could Start8 be made to search through Outlook also?

Display Picture Stuck On Last Viewed Menu Icon in Start8 Stardock Forums

Under the "Configure" menu, I have "Administrative Tools" set to "Display as a menu". Now, if I browse the Start8 "Administrative Tools" menu then click out of the Start8 menu, then go back to the Start8 menu, you will notice that the display picture at the top is still displaying the "Administrative Tools" icon rather than the User's display picture.

The Windows 8 Menu at the Top of Start8 is Causing Problems in Start8 Stardock Forums

If I click on the Windows 8 Menu at the top of Start8, then click the top left corner of the screen to go back to the Desktop, the last used minimized application opens instead of showing the Desktop. This only happens if I use the Windows 8 Menu at the top of Start8. Not if I use the Start8 button. So, to replicate the problem, open a few programs, then minimize them. Now, go to the Start8 menu and click Windows 8 Menu at the top of Start8.

Reply to BUG : Multiple copy in Programs and Features. in Start8 Stardock Forums

Yeah, that's a bug with the installer. There should be no need to uninstall each and every version prior to installing a new version. Just install the new version over the top of the existing previous version. And as for the installer bug creating multiple entries in "Programs and Features" instead of updating the existing entry. Until they fix it, you can easily remove an old entry without even going into the Registry. An old, but simple trick is th

Reply to Question of the user who bought Start8 about upgrade to a newer version in Start8 Stardock Forums

I don't know about your licensing questions. In fact, I didn't even know I could use 1 license on 2 computers. But I can tell you that you do NOT need to uninstall the previous version prior to installing the new version. Just install the new version straight over the top of the previous version.
