Note that you'll need the latest Start8 Beta as well, which is version 1.11. You should be able to grab it from Stardock's site if you log in to your account.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Start8 with Beta 3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start8-with-beta-3/?ID=99101c6e-aedd-4338-a597-a91d4083a3c6#17 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 19:05:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start8-with-beta-3/?ID=99101c6e-aedd-4338-a597-a91d4083a3c6#17 DisplayFusion No worries! Hopefully we'll have some better news in the coming weeks.

Have a great weekend! ]]> RE: Start8 with Beta 3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start8-with-beta-3/?ID=99101c6e-aedd-4338-a597-a91d4083a3c6#16 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 21:52:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start8-with-beta-3/?ID=99101c6e-aedd-4338-a597-a91d4083a3c6#16 DisplayFusion thanks for the update. ]]> RE: Start8 with Beta 3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start8-with-beta-3/?ID=99101c6e-aedd-4338-a597-a91d4083a3c6#15 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:41:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start8-with-beta-3/?ID=99101c6e-aedd-4338-a597-a91d4083a3c6#15 DisplayFusion Hey all, we've got some bad news. We've had to remove the support for Start8 for now, as it's just not working correctly, and we're out of ideas on it at the moment. We are still going to revisit it, and hopefully get in contact with Stardock to see if they can help as well.

I'll be sure to post another update when we have more news.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Start8 with Beta 3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start8-with-beta-3/?ID=99101c6e-aedd-4338-a597-a91d4083a3c6#14 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 23:07:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start8-with-beta-3/?ID=99101c6e-aedd-4338-a597-a91d4083a3c6#14 DisplayFusion I thought I should add that I was running Start8 1.03.

I am having the same issue. When I go to taskbar settings, it does not detect Start 8 but has a link to download it.

On the second monitor the start menu seems to open and then close immediately. All I see is a flicker.

I enabled "All Lines" logging and clicked on the start menu button a few times on my second monitor.

I've been watching this thread for the last couple of weeks and meaning to add my +1. Was happy to see that the latest beta now has support built in.

I've had Start8 installed (currently version 1.1) and I just installed Beta 7 of Display Fusion. Before updating to Beta 7 I uninstalled Classic Shell. Now when I click the start menu on monitor 1 and 3 I get the Win 8 fullscreen metro menu in monitor 2. Clicking the start menu in monitor 2 brings up the Start8 monitor as expected.

I took a look at the troubleshooting tab in DF's settings dialog and I see the following:

File: External: Classic Start Menu: --
• Path: --
File: External: Start8: --
• Path: --

Is there a way for me to specify the Start8 location? I've tried reinstalling Start8, resetting all task bars in DF and rebooting my system. For some reason, DF refuses to notice that I have Start8 installed. Am I missing something simple?

Edit: I forgot to mention, I've tried turning Start8's "Show a start button on secondary taskbars (if any)" on and off, neither setting made a difference. ]]> RE: Start8 with Beta 3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start8-with-beta-3/?ID=99101c6e-aedd-4338-a597-a91d4083a3c6#10 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 02:35:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start8-with-beta-3/?ID=99101c6e-aedd-4338-a597-a91d4083a3c6#10 DisplayFusion On the second monitor the start menu seems to open and then close immediately.

Recently when I click on the start menu on the 2nd monitor, only the start menu on the primary monitor. Is this a start 8 issue or is it a configuration issue on my part? If it is Start8, will the classic shell fix this?

thanks,
Fred ]]>
