Wake up from standby with mouse or keyboard is not working....

I would like to know why I can not wake up from standby by moving the mouse like in WinME or with the keyboard like in WinME

The only way I can resume and return to desktop, is by pushing the power button on my machine.

Whats up with that?

two things...

this can either be disabled/enabled in your bios, or

right click on my computer->properties->hardware tab->device manager

now click the plus signs next to keyboards and mouse/poining devices. for each one, double click your device, click the power management tab and make sure there is a check next to "allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" now this will only work if you have it enabled in the bios.
 
Keyboard and Mouse dont have Power Management tabs.

I have an Intellimouse Optical and Microsoft Internet Keyboard
 
did you check your bios?

also, are you using usb or ps/2 to connect your input devices?
 
PS/2

I checked my bios, nothing.

Its strange because it worked perfectly with WinME before.
 
do you have acpi installed?

go to device manager and expand the "computer" branch, if it says "standard pc" your screwed lol if it does say "advanced configuration and power interface" check if its enabled in your bios and/or control panel
that *may* be your problem
 
Yes, it says ACPI in Device Manager.


How would I go about disabling it then?
 
Hi INFERNO2K,

Firstly Welcome to the forum

Control panel>Mouse>Hardware>Properties.Power management

and make sure the "Allow this device to bring the computer out of stand by" is checked


Hope this helps you
Alan

P.S. I'm on Win 2000 now but I'm sure its the same in Xp
 
Thanks but ther is no Power Management Tab available there ?
 
I hear you m8,

I'm @a loss where to go next.

Pretty sure there is some1 here with the answer to your problem.


Sorry I can't be more helpful :(
 
Just my $.02, standby is useless. Just have it set to power down monitor and harddisks after set amount of time

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
