Try to use the following code in the template where the $subcategories array is defined:

Code:
{assign var="cell_counter" value="0"}
{assign var="subcat_per_row" value="3"}

<table width="100%" cellspacing="5">
{foreach from=$subcategories item=subcat}
{math equation="x+1" x=$cell_counter assign="cell_counter"}
{if $cell_counter eq "1"}<tr>{/if}
<td><a href="home.php?cat={$subcat.categoryid}"><img src="{$subcat.categoryid|func_get_image_url:C|default:"image.php?id=`$subcat.categoryid`&type=C"}" alt="{$subcat.category|escape}" style="padding-right: 5px;" align="left"/>{$subcat.category}</a></td>

{if $cell_counter eq $subcat_per_row}
    </tr>
    {assign var="cell_counter" value="0"}
{/if}
{/foreach}
{if $cell_counter gt 0}
{section loop=$subcat_per_row name=cc start=$cell_counter}
<td>&nbsp;</td>
{/section}
</tr>
{/if}
</table>

Also, I'd recommend you to move your category images to the file system. You can perform it under admin area on the "Images location" page.

i found " subcategories.tpl " but it is look like not the place where $subcategories is define .. and it is a lot files to look into .. BUT .. if we assignt this to file where " $subcategories " is define will it effect the menu system ? i saw it use " $subcategories " too.

This code should work on the categories pages, products listing and product details page.

On these pages you can use this code in any templates which are included to show the appropriate content.

Generally the subcategories list on the category details page. Therefore you should edit the "skin1/customer/main/subcategories.tpl" template as you previously did it.

If you have any problem with code implementing I'd recommend you to contact your Support team in your Help Desk account.

"skin1/customer/main/subcategories.tpl"

Find in the file the following code and replace at that what you wrote above.

PHP Code:
.......
<table cellspacing="5" width="100%">
{foreach from=$subcategories item=subcat}
<tr>
{if $tmp and $first_subcat ne "Y"}
    <td valign="top" rowspan="{count value=$subcategories print="Y"}"><img src="{if $current_category.icon_url}{$current_category.icon_url}{else}{$xcart_web_dir}/image.php?id={$cat}&amp;type=C{/if}" alt="" /></td>
{assign var="first_subcat" value="Y"}
{/if}
    <td class="SubcatTitle"><a href="home.php?cat={ $subcat.categoryid }"><font class="ItemsList">{ $subcat.category|escape }</font></a><br /></td>
    <td class="SubcatInfo">{if $config.Appearance.count_products eq "Y"}
{if $subcat.product_count}{ $subcat.product_count } {$lng.lbl_products}
{elseif $subcat.subcategory_count}{ $subcat.subcategory_count } {$lng.lbl_categories|lower}
{/if}
    {/if}</td>
</tr>
{/foreach}
</table>
