    If you guys haven't known, when you sleep your computer and you move a mouse or press enter it starts. Up unill yesterday That function doesn't work on my pc. When i sleep my computer, it doesn't wake up when i move the mouse or press enter. I have to press the power button to turn it on. How did i do this? How can i change it back?

    Funnily enough that happened to my computer. However, I totally reinstalled windows so I'm not going to be too much help. I think it may have had something to do with using a USB/PS2 mouse port. If you've changed, change back. If you haven't, then I'm not sure what could cause the problem.

    rihgt682,

    Go to Device Manager and locate your "mice and other pointing devices". Click on the + to open the jtree. Then, right click and go to properties; then click on the power management tab. check the box that says ALLOW THIS DEVICE TO BRING THE COMPUTER OUT OF STANDBY.

    Let us know if this works for you.
