.76 won't load unless USB device attached

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run CE player .76 (no devices attached)
2. Loading screen appears and device freezes - needing a hard reset
3. Same process with external USB HD attached from start, everything works fine

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Should run as normal - system freezes if USB HD not attached.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

New .76 version on OS 4.2E

Do you have a modchip?

Please provide any additional information below.

With USB HD attached, software works fine. Even plays DVD's + AVI/MP3 files
on DVD (not possible for me with version .75). However, needs USB HD
attached to run, and if this is removed at any point - the programme freezes.

Only DVDx installed through install of homebrew. Didn't understand what 'fake 
bug
sign' meant so have not played with any other ios installs.  

Now tried it with a USB stick - it works. 

Solution = leave a USB memory stick in the back of the wii!

This may sound nutty, but even a USB wireless keyboard receiver works! I have 
system
4.2, dvdx v2 installed via hbc installer, and mplayer ce 0.76. Program only 
loads
when I have either usb drive or wireless keyboard receiver plugged in. Keyboard 
is a
Dell OEM that came packaged with a desktop PC. I use it mainly for Wii Internet 
Browser.

I have 2 Wii's - 1 using System Menu 3.4U, the other using System Menu 4.2U.   
The 
Wii with System Menu 3.4U worked perfectly, but the 4.2U would constantly 
freeze at 
the loading Mplayer .76 screen.   Here is what fixed the problem for me.   
First you 
should have the Homebrew Browser installed (obviously).  When I ran the Hackmii 
installer, it gave me the option to install the Homebrew Browser, BootMii, and 
DVDx.  Make sure that DVDx is installed.   Then download AnyTitleDeleterMOD.  
Make 
sure you get the MOD version of AnyTitleDeleter as it will show you the actual 
names 
of the IOS'.   Then (on a clean SD card) copy the software to your SD card.   
Launch 
the Homebrew Browser, and then launch AnyTitleDeleteMOD.  Scroll through until 
you 
find IOS202.   Delete IOS 202.   IMPORTANT, MAKE SURE YOU ONLY DELETE IOS202 AS 
DELETING SOMETHING ELSE MAY BRICK YOUR WII.  I will not be held responcible if 
something goes wrong!!  Exit AnyTitleDeleteMOD.  Try to open Mplayer CE .76.   
It 
should open now!
