Howardbk Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 This is in reference to a computer running Windows XP. What are the correct power options setting, so that when the computer is put in sleep mode (stand-by or hybernation), the computer is revived by a key stroke or mouse movement, instead of having to push the start button on the computer tower?

Howardbk Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hi,Howardbk.My first Bing hit fell on this;http://support.microsoft.com/kb/280108I suppose it would be the same procedure for your keyboard.Welcome to Windows Forum.I went to the site you suggested. When I right clicked on the mouse in Device manager and chose Properties, there were only three tabs at the top: General, Driver, and Details. The Power Management tab was missing. This tab would have the check box needed to answer my question. (The mouse by the way is a Logitech HD-compliant cordless mouse.) Why is the tab missing?

bludgard Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Not sure why the Power Management tab is missing.When I checked mine (Win 7) It wasn't there either.I went to Devices and Printers and found it.Then went back to Device Manager and it was there again.Do have a Mouse icon in Control Panel>All Control Panel Items?If so select this and see if you can pull up Power Management from there.

I found the following link />http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/1248146897which might interest you, but I don't think I'm willing to try it at this time.By the way, I also have a computer with Windows 7, and the power management tab is there, but not in the XP machine.
