One trick that works for me sometimes is to use an X-acto knife to "slice" between the pins. That can get some of those bridges that might be underneath and hard to see. For lack of a better description, think of it as using a comb to clear anything between the pins. Also, try to be cautious about removing/replacing many more things before you get a handle on it. These boards are fairly robust with the double ground plane, but they're still protos and may not take much abuse.
EDIT: Just thought of one other thing - you may need to be patient with the connection to the PC. Mine took awhile to register for some reason, but I've had no trouble with it since.
Anyway, don't give up and good luck.
