Issue: When "Windows 7 Style" start menu is selected in Start8, it randomly stops working. "Windows 8 Style" start menu works without any issue in all circumstances. I am running Windows 8.1 64bit (with all latest updates) and Start8 version 1.31.

I've attempted to resolve the issue by re-installing Start8, to no avail.

Typically after the computer loads, the Win7 style menu will function for a period of time, but then it stops -- pressing on the start button does nothing. Mousing over the start button still highlights it, but the menu doesn't pop up. Right-clicking on the button brings up a context menu with options: "Configure Start8", "Run", "Open File Explorer", "Shut Down". 

I've been trying to figure out what events cause the loss of functionality -- it appears sometimes running an installation shield to install/uninstall a program causes the problem. However, at other times when no installation/unistalltion took place, the functionality of the button is still lost, seemingly at random. 

The only way to bring back the functionality is to sign out of the session and re-log in, or to restart. Start8 is a great product, hopefully someone can help me resolve the issue.
