The old options are still showing so I know that it has not removed everything.
When I click on the Start8 taskbar icon, the first panel is not complete and when I click on show all programs it is not much better and there is no up and down function. The second panel is completely empty where the older version show a control panel function and other functions. I am not sure if the search function worked or not.
I have reinstalled the program several times including using the Windows add/remove function and also the built in remove included with the Start8 program.
I will just wait until another release later that 1.41 as I finally got the old version 1.40 loaded on both of my computers and it works like it should.
