For my B-Day, I got this wonderful wireless Logitech mouse/keyboard (MK300). It took me a whole two minutes to install the new Logitech driver and software to manage my mouse/KeyB settings. The range is decent. However, when I decided to use the sleep mode function on the KeyB, the system decided to go to sleep half way. More precisely, my monitor turns off, then I can hear my hard drives stop spinning, however, my PC fans and CPU fans are still running, as well as my case lights. Why would that be I ask myself?
I also tried to manually select start->turn of computer->standby which usually would completely put my pc to sleep...surprise surprise, my CPU fan and fans and lights are still working. So, I consulted my power settings in control panel. everything is setup as itdata interface drivers for xp was before I install my new mouse/KeyB software. So, was it the software or the new drivers? I decided to unplug my wireless receiver from the USB port and plugged in my SP2 mouse and keyB. Hit my sleep mode button on my KeyB and voila, it work like it should, my pc was fast asleep.
So obviously, for some reason, a USB interface VS SP2 is affecting the process tree for XP’s standby mode. It’s like with a universal serial bus, with a 4-pin configuration, the data packets being sent out is signalling the system to go into standby mode, however, XP has a hard time interpreting the full packets which halts the process half way through the process tree. With an SP/2 interface, the data is still serially driven into the pc on pin 1, however, for some reason this 6-pin connection data interface drivers for xpdoes not confuse the process tree. SP/2 does use a slower clock speed and the protocol for sending the packets of information is different than he USBs, but why does it only affect the standby process and usb communication for anything else works like a charm. Why I ask?
I wonder if I have to alter my BIOS settings or install a newer driver for my USB ports?
Anyone?
Because USB devices on newer computers can bring the computer out of standby mode.
You might look for that setting in your BIOS.
Also try checking the manufacturers web site for details.
I seem to recall there are settings in Windows, but they are buried somewhere and I forget where they are. If you right click on the device(s) in device manager, there should be a power options tab.
