    Disable Mouse and Keyboard from Turning On Monitors?


    Hey guys,

    I have a quick question ... I'm not sure if this is doable or not, but here is my question anyway...

    I followed the following link on how to create a keyboard shortcut that turns off all connected screens to my computer at once Link. This worked just fine, and has been really useful for the past few days, however my problem is as follows:

    When I use my keyboard shortcut and turn off my screens (which are two Acer multi-touch screens), any key-press to the keyboard or move to the mouse will bring them back on... Is there ANY WAY to disable that?

    I would like my screens to ONLY turn on when I touch them, and NOT when I move the mouse or press the keyboard.

    It is annoying for me because when I place anything on my desk that causes the mouse to move both screens go back on. I don't use SLEEP or STANDBY neither do I lock my machine, since my computer is always on.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Repeat for the mouse and there you go. A Guy

    Thank you for your reply, I've done that but it doesn't work.. Remember I'm not putting my computer in sleep mode, I am just simply turning off the monitors, but my mouse or keyboard turns the monitors back on. Is there any way I can disable the mouse and keyboard from turning the screens back on?

    Thanks again for your help!

    Ahhh, I get it, the PC is still on just the monitors go to sleep after a set amount of time. I'm sorry, I don't have the answer for you. Not sure it can be done natively. A Guy

    Is there a settings / properties for the touch function for the displays? This is an obvious guess, but it would seem that would be the first place to check.

    Have you try the same approach mentioned by a guy to your mouse?

    I really appreciate the help folks, I have tried the above mentioned method prior to posting this thread. There are no touch options associated with this. Windows 7 touch options are very limited.

    The screen wakes up when touched, that is not the problem, my problem is that I would like the screen(s) not to wake up when the mouse is moved or the keyboard is pressed.

    Perhaps a registry edit? ... I'm not sure.

    I'd have to think a BIOS setting having to do with the S3, such as repost video on S3 resume or such. You do know the wise guy answer is "why are you moving the mouse and/or hitting the keyboard if your monitors are off" . Well, give it some time, someone else might come along with the perfect answer. A Guy

    I'll check on the BIOS settings and let you know ASAP!

    Thanks!

    No, there is no way... I use the same method as the OP, but I don't have a shortcut, I set my monitor to sleep in 1 minute, before it goes to sleep, I lifted my mouse, and put something under it so that the sensor won't register anything... that way I can rock the table without it registering anything...
