Hi guys, firstly, sorry if there are millions of threads on this already. I know 7 can be a pain for random sleep issues. I had a quick search and didn't find anything quite like what I'm experiencing though. Sometimes, when my PC wakes up from sleep, the keyboard and mouse don't work. It...

Yesterday, Microsoft started the announcements about Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. The one thing that struck me was the fact that Windows 7 will only get some minor updates and bug fixes from the Service Pack. Even though Windows 7 is sweet and looks very good from the beginning, I...

W7HP edition. Sometimes my computer will go to sleep, but most of the time it won't. The only time it will guarantee to go to sleep, is if I am downloading a large file. If I am downloading, 100% of the time, it will go to sleep. Is there a setting somewhere, that will tell the computer to not...

I have a Microsoft brand USB mouse connected by wire to a desktop computer. When I allow the computer to go to sleep, I cannot wake it up via the mouse. A tap on the keyboard will wake the computer up, but all I get out of the mouse is a slight twitch before it freezes. Once I am back onto...

My laptop will go to sleep BUT when I wake it up I get a backlight and fan, and that is it. To recover, I must disconnect power, pull the battery, replug all that and cold boot. It just started this about a week ago. Before that it worked just fine. A windows update may be responsible as I have...

Machine was working fine until about the time the message about Windows update causing a black screen of death came out. It's used as a media centre with twin dvb-s tuners and one dvb-t. That all works fine, and the machine goes back to sleep after half an hour. However, sometimes it just...

Hello, I just updated from Vista 64 bit to Windows 7 64 bit. Everything worked fine for the first couple of weeks and then things began to act funny. I'm not a computer wizard so I'm turning to you for help. Here is my situation. I normally leave my computer on and only turn it off when it...

My new PC with Windows 7 is great, except for one annoying issue. When my machine sleeps, sometimes it awakens with a distorted and enlarged view. I work from home, largely with picture files, so distortion make the job difficult. The display and resolution settings haven't changed, but what I...

I recently made a post about the sleep issue, but to rephrase, I was having trouble with my Acer Aspire 4810T sleeping when I closed the lid, but I managed to fix it by changing the properties for my wifi card so that it would not wake up the computer. The other day I downloaded a driver update...

I've unchecked "Allow this device to wake the computer" for the Ethernet device. My bluetooth mouse and keyboard have both been checked to "Allow this device to wake the computer" which is right, yes? I do want to be able to wake my computer via mouse or keyboard. I'm running Avira Antivir...
