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.

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.

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.

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]

[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]
