Guest Dan Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 My wife has a Lenovo laptop, running XP pro, which she uses with a "desktop" corded keyboard & mouse when she works in her office. Both are PS/2 devices, connected with this adapter to a USB port: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812101117 Whenever the laptop goes to sleep, the corded mouse ceases to function unless she reboots. Both keyboards continue to function, as does the touchpad mouse on the laptop; only the corded mouse gives up the ghost. A previous cordless USB mouse (now lost) had no such difficulties. Is there a cure for this? Thanks in advance, Dan

I may end up doing that if the problem can't be eliminated with some setting/config change. My wife's not the most computer savvy person in the world, it's easier for her to just have the one wire to connect/disconnect. Dan
Guest R. McCarty Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Re: XP Pro mouse problem. Set the USB root Hub to not enter a power savings mode. This way when the PC resumes from Hibernate/Standby the USB to PS/2 won't be "Asleep".

Where would this setting be? Thanks Dan
