I am having a wierd problem with my start menu columns in lanscape.... im on sprint 6.5 and the start menu should show 3 columns in portrait and 5 columns in lanscape... well yesterday, after a reset, my start menu wouldnt respond at all. so i restarted again. now my start menu only has 3 columns in lanscape as well. have anyone saw anything like this before? i also noticed that my start menu wallpaper had changed by itself as well. this has happemed once before, can someone please help me out?

did you have anything installed that changed your start menu like 4 rows or anything like that?

@ w7.. naah, its supposed to be 5, not 3... i thought it was supposed to be like that too until i did a hard reset a few weeks ago and afterwards, i had 5 columns in landscape. now, its back to 3. naah, i didnt install any start menu cabs prior to this. now i have to scroll almost twice as much to get to the bottom of the list. i have no idea what causes it to switch from 5 columns to 3, but its happened to me twice

nd out what my issue is i think. can someone post the original StartMenu_GridScene_800x480.cpr file from their windows folder? i tried to edit it and make it back 5 columns, but a whole bunch of jibberush and symbols come up after i save what ive edited.... so can someone help me out and post that .cpr file?

YAY! i fixed it... i did not know you could edit files directly from total commander. i used to change the filename extension in order to open it in notepad, the change the extension back when i was done editing. now i find out total commander does all of this for me. so i changed columns back to 5. i still have no idea how this was changed in the first place... here is a screenshot of how its supposed to be.
