mouse won't wake up computer

[mickeddie]

My parents have a Dell Dimension 2300. I recently installed a new flat screen monitor and a USB keyboard. Previous keyboard was PS/2. Now when the system hibernates wiggling the mouse will not wake up the computer (as the ps/2 mouse DID). I checked the BIOS and there is nothing there to assist me.

Under the mouse properties the box IS checked to wake the system using the mouse.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

just try pressing the power button to wake it up.
Or have you tried clicking the mouse to wake it up.

Hope it helped.

I know I can press the power button, but I am trying to just use the mouse.

Thanks!

From hibernate? I'm not sure if that is possible with USB.

Some of the newer MB have a manual jumper to wake by usb device, and you have to set the bios power management to make it work, I think.

Since the system is trying to conserve power, the usb device(s) should be shut down, and the reason why it won't wake.
