6.5 - WMP playback issue + Start Menu options?

[twe90kid]

For those who have WMP playback issues while streaming or playing a audio/video file, the phone won't play when it goes into suspend mode. is there a fix to keep WM playing while in suspend? i know there's a cab for it, but it doesn't seem to work because of 6.5. might need other changes.

also is there a solution for the start menu? i know a lot of people hate the start menu, but is there a solution to get the old start menu back? i know there's quickmenu, but it doesn't seem to override the start button, only the windows icon. i want the comb menu to be disabled for good.
