PERMANENTLY disable wake on mouse. How??

#1 Post by jgrobertson » Thu Dec 03, 2009 8:21 pm

I don't want the mouse to wake up my Thinkpad. Example of prolblem. Shut lid, unplug mouse, put it in brief case. Later, thinkpad is on, too hot to touch and battery run down.

I set the power option in Device Manager / Mouse on the Power Options Tab to DISABLE. Yet, it seems in a day to it will be enabled again.

I don't know what is doing this but DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE WAKE ON MOUSE???

I assume you are talking about an USB mouse. I noticed same thing with my USB ThinkPad Travelmouse, and my solution is that I unplug the USB mouse before putting my laptop in standby :)

The point for me is that with XP it seemed to know what to do. If an external monitor were connected in the dock, then the mouse would wake it up. But if the lid were shut without an external monitor it would not. Now I used the IBM/Lenovo drivers and Logitech drivers in both cases. Currently I don't use Access connections.

I sometimes question the sense of the people who are making design decisions at MS these days.
