Hi

I have a very frustrating issue. I've got a HP dc7800 which I would
like to be able to wake from sleep using a USB mouse - It's just a
standard two button scroll mouse that came with the PC, nothing
fancy. It's running Win XP Pro. I've looked at both the mouse and
usb properties in control panel and device manager and nowhere is
there any option to tick to say "use this device to wake from sleep"
or similar. I've also looked in the BIOS and theres nothing there
either. Infact the only things mentioned in the BIOS under the Power
option (but I've looked in other areas, too) are:

Runtime Power Management - Enabled
Idle Power Savings - Extended
ACPI S3 HDD Reset - Disabled
ACPI S3 PS2 Mouse Wake Up - Enabled
USB Wake on Device Insertion - Enabled
Unique Sleep State Blink Rates - Disabled

If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. I can't believe it's
this hard!

Thanks

In Device Manager double click on the mouse. On the Mouse Properties, click
the Power Management tab. Click to check the box "Allow this device to bring
the computer out of standby".
