Charm bar

Charms bar not disabling

I'm running Win 8 on an HP laptop without touch screen &I just purchased Start8.  I may have misunderstood, but I thought Start8 would disable the Charm bar that pops up when swiping from right to left on the touchpad.  I have selected "disable charms bar when at desktop" but the annoying charms bar still pops up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

There is indeed a simple menu item you can click during the personalizing of the Start 8 settings, in order to de-activate the charms bar as well as the interactive Windows 8 corners -- at least there was on the trial version i downloaded.  This was the principle reason I tried the software, and it worked fine, i even turned it on and off just to make sure.  Then,  i went back to change some other settings, including the one that opens a pop-up menu listing of apps, when you right click on the start button: when I did this, it de-selected the repression of the charms bar, and now i am stuck with that thing popping up all the time again.  i downloaded the purchased program, and now cannot find the control panel, for adjusting these settings.

Start8 cannot disable swiping to open the Charms bar; it only disables the hot corners
