Question
Andrea Borman
I could not find any information about my problem on the web,so I am posting about it here.As maybe someone else has the same problem as me. And that is I cannot download Vista Start Menu or Start Menu 7. Because the download links do not work and I cannot get onto the original site.This has been going on for over 24 hours now. But 2 days ago both websites and download links were working but not now.
I have been helping my friend install Windows 8 Consumer Preview on his Acer Windows 7 laptop. And like me he wants a Classic menu.Because that is what he is used to on Windows 7.So I told him about 2 programs Start Menu 7 and Vista Start menu that both work on Windows 8. And once he had his computer set up with Windows 8 installed,we then went to the website to download and install one of those programs.
But I found that we could not access either the Vista Start Menu website or the Start Menu 7 website. We got an message saying"webpage is not available."
See here the links are not working and you cannot access the download links-Vista Start menu-http://www.vistastartmenu.com
Start Menu 7-http://www.startmenu7.com
And so we tried other download sites that we know,Tuscows,Softpedia and the same thing happened. we could not download either of those programsThe programs would not download. It seems that the download sites connect to the actual websites where the software is hosted on by the makers. So if the website is down,you cannot download the software from another website either.
But the problem is not with mine or my friends Internet connection. As we tried the computer at another friends house and at my friends office computer and you just cannot get onto either website from any location. So those websites are down and also the people who make Vista Start Menu and Start Menu 7 also make Start menu XP and Start Menu classic. And we tried those websites and we cannot get onto those websites either the same problem.
I do not understand it as 2 days ago the we could access the website and the download links were working. What could be the problem? Has both Start Menu 7 and Vista Start Menu been discontinued? Is that the reason why we can not get onto the website or download those programs from anywhere else.
I told my friend to install Classic Shell like I have done but he wants Start Menu 7 or Vista Start Menu,because he used them on Windows 7. So does anybody know why we cannot download Start Menu 7 or Vista Start menu or get onto the website to download it from? Andrea Borman.
