Hello Guys,
Is anyone using Start8 Start Menu program fro Stardock, it is an excellent Start Menu for Windows 8, which only costs £3. On mine if I press the start button and roll my mouse up the list of recent programs when ever is gets to Microsoft Word (2007 version) it always pauses for about 5-8 seconds then displays the list of recently used word documents, when it is in this pause mode the start menu is dead, i.e if I scroll to word then attempt to press the start button nothing happens until the list of recently used word documents is shown.
All other programs are shown fairly instant. Is this a bug or am I the only one affected.
Thanks
Tony

- I did a fresh format and install of Windows 8 64 Bit Pro. Sorry but I couldn't live without a start button so I have installed the Start8 start menu which is great. I try sometimes not to use it but find metro frustrating to find programs as I have many. I will use Metro for apps only and desktop of serious computing.
