I was able to open Start8, about, check for updates, and got the update that way.

I can't seem to be able to change my start button anymore, the entire option set is greyed out.  What gives?  Something wrong here?  Running Windows 8.1 with Start 8 1.3.1

MadDawg25, open windowblinds config, go to the gear, top right.

 

Put a check mark in the box next to "Always use the OS start button, rather than the theme one".

 

Then, you can change buttons with Start8.
