I don't know if its the USB or the gamepad(which is a logitech cordless rumblepad2) But when ever I'm using it, there are moments whenit would stop working for half-hour or more, and no matter how many times I restart/disconnect/reconnect the laptop or the controller it will only start working whenever if feels like it again. It will continue to work without a glitch for an hour or two than crap out again. (vicious cycle)

My question is if anybody else has had problems with their USB ports. Or if anybody else who has the rumblepad2 has experienced the similiar behaviour?
I have the SZ160 btw.

Ok, I going to see if I can grab hold of more USB devices than to see if they experience similiar behaviour.
