2009 Window problem: initialize vs software update

Hello all-
I have a 2009 Mini w/ the window problem everyone seems to have- the auto up/down feature. I decided to take it to the dealer and $120 later my window was 'initalized' and I was also told that I needed a software update. Although I felt a little burned shelling out $120 and then being told I needed to come back, the window was working fine.
No problems since this weekend. I went away for a few days...valet garaged it and when I got my car back, the window started acting up. I have read that the car can lose its memory and make the windows flake out. I'm not sure it the garage ppl left my fob in place all weekend...hence my window problem. I tried the self initializing w/out luck.

Has anyone else been told this at their dealer? Read about memory?

You'll likely get more responses if you posted your question in the Second Generation forum since the two generations are very different.
