Yeah, but does it really work?
I'm ready to do this very thing...the Dell System Software (which I normally install ONLY on business machines) screwed up USB support majorly.

I've done this to several company machines and my kids home systems form time to time, never has it failed (knocks on wood as nothing is perfect), all worked great when done.
Like I said I thought this was a known thing. In fact either Jeff or RJ originally told me about it? I think it was Jeff at the CO CON actually. Yes?

I am very familiar with the process, don't know if I mentioned it to you LT.
It's always worked well for machines I work on, but for my own I give them the full douche.

A corrupt OS can screw you over in these cases.
Nice story though....perhaps you should retire with a nice severance package and write children's books.
