(Here is something for people who worry when the list goes quiet because no one has any problems to discuss) Yesterday evening I switched on and discovered that the mouse didn't work. Then I noticed no red light underneath, so I tried the other (front) socket. The light came on. I plugged it back in the original socket just to check - no light - so back in the working socket. Except it didn't work. There was still a light, but it was flashing on and off (~1Hz). I tried various other devices, and ran USBInfo to see what was there. When I ran USBKick, things jammed up. The pointer moved, but clicking had no effect. Quitting USB kick (Alt-Break) cleared that effect. After a couple more tries, I started getting other errors, so I closed down and re-booted the machine. That seems to have restored normality, but I am concerned to know what went wrong. Any ideas?
