Guest PT Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 I've posted this problem before - It's still unresolved. here's an update. I put my WindowsXP Home desktop into Standby. It dutifully obeys. Then anywhere from a few moments to ten or fifteen minutes it awakens. I have an optical mouse, and somewhere, I no longer remember where (but I'd love a clue), I instructed Windows not to awaken the computer with mouse motion. Normally I have to press a key such as the Shift key. So what is waking it up? I assume there's some sort of background process going on. Suggestions welcome -- PT

Guest lost @mame.com Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Re: WindowsXP Insomnia I had something similar happen too me but the computer would start up on its own when it was turned off. I turned it off using the windows shut down not a power switch. It seems my power supply had gotten a little strange. The only way I discovered it was the power suppy was because after I shut down by turning off the switch it took 5 minutes with the power restored to the computer for it to even attempt to boot up.
