Need some advice. My program menu on my xda keeps whiting out.

On an initial start (or after editing the program list) the program list (or start menu) displays fine.

On the 2nd click some icons start doubling up at the bottom and fill the screen.

The on the 3rd click it goes off the bottom of the screen and goes completely white!

What gives? I've editing the number of items, looking in the registry at start menu opetions, deleting programs, but nothing solves it.

Performance etc not hampered but its really annoying. It MIGHT have started after installing a c++ cube program launcher (not sure).

if anyone has ideas to fix it please let me know.

TIA Sean

Hey I just had that exact same issue earlier. I was editing my \Windows\start Menu\Programs folder and making some adjustments when i noticed it happening. I kinda narrowed it down to being something to do with HButton. I was fiddling with the Hbutton display options just after modifying the programs folder. After more fiddling with the HButton display (changing colour and position) and a soft reset, my Start menu started working fine again and I havent had any problems with it again so far.

Probably nothing at all to do with it but thats what seems to have fixed mine as i didnt touch anything else but HButton and it is now resolved.

hope this helps in some way

[EDIT] completely ignore what I just put above, its just happeed again. The only thing I have done this time is Activesync and install a game. Kinda thinking it has something to do with Activesync now.......

Try to see in Memory the program values.
In my experience when tou have few program memory, start and today redrow is very difficult.
It happened me some times ago when i tryed a rom with problems of memory allocation.
You can try another rom (today you have many chose :) )

Well considering my phone is one a month old I dont think I'll be flashing the rom JUST yet.

And update: for some reason the start menu is back to normal behavior! Absolutely no idea why. Just when i was getting used to it as well.
