Reply to Windows 8.1 (Blue) Confirmed as a Free Update in WinCustomize News Stardock Forums

[quote who="Anthony R" reply="10" id="3359791"] Does Blue revert 8 back to Win7? It might actually be useful then.[/quote] But then, how is Stardock supposed to sell their popular Start8 product if Blue does come with the start menu that was forcibly taken out to test people and gather customer feedback as if we were all guinea pigs part of a science experiment gone wrong? No seriously though, so if it is a Service pack update (I thought Microsof

Reply to WINDOWS 8 in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I really can't wait for WindowsBlinds8 because I have never seen anything skinned differently before on a Windows Machine or knew that it was possible from easy-to-use software until I became a customer of Stardock after hearing about Start8.

Problems with Fences 2.1 in Fences Stardock Forums

Hi, I have been experiencing a problem with Fences 2.1 that occurs after I install the application on my Windows 8 x64 operating system.

Reply to Start8 Group Policy functions for home users in Start8 Stardock Forums

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="1" id="3262165"]The group policy support is via an admx file and if you contact [email protected] they should be able to provide it. We had assumed anyone using that would be a company and so would most likely have purchased via corporale sales, but we are ok with anyone having the file and I will see about getting it either added to the installer, or placed on the website as well.[/quote] Alright, sounds great.

Reply to Not booting to desktop mode in Start8 Stardock Forums

I have this same problem as well. If I have my Windows 8 computer contain only one user account on the system, it auto-logs into the desktop but doesn't boot directly to Desktop. But, if I put a password on my account and login to the desktop after typing it in, Start8 recognizes the log-in and boots directory to teh desktop.

Start8 Group Policy functions for home users in Start8 Stardock Forums

Hi, I am currently having an issue with the Group Policy functions of Start8 that the webpage said I would receive when I purchased Start8 from the "Consumer" downloads page. In the 5th screenshot, it said that I would receive Group Policy support if I purchased just Start8 and not the ObjectDesktop bundle (which isn't bad by any means, but I didn't have the money for it at the time).
