[Bug 421276] Re: USB remote stops working

[GoofY]

Just to tell ya I solved my problem by changing my mainboard.

I went from  the NVIDIA chipset to an AMD chipset & my problems were 
past tense :-)

dunno of course if you've got a NVIDIA chipset but it's worth a try to 
change the mainboard...

Just me 2 cents
