VM Server to ESX conversion problem with USB

I had a VM running on VM server and it worked find but taxed my harddrive so I ran the conversion agent and moved it to ESX.  The first time I attempted to start it I got the error:  "Device usb is not supported. This is a general limiataion of the machines virtual hardware."  

Thats fine I dont need usb on it.  But I cant seem to remove it.   I went in to edit the machine and it would mark usb as removed but not actually do it.   I read on the internets that I could edit the vmx file so I tried that,  I removed everything that mentioned USB, I still get the same error.   This is my VMX file:



.encoding = "UTF-8"
config.version = "9"
virtualHW.version = "8"
vmci0.present = "true"
nvram = "G XP.nvram"
deploymentPlatform = "windows"

unity.customColor = "|23C0C0C0"

ethernet0.features = "1"
vmotion.checkpointFBSize = "134217728"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
checkpoint.vmState = ""

I cant seem to get it to do anything anymore.  Can advise would be welcome.

Thanks,
