You need to be using v0.9.098 that I posted if you're not. There's an entire thread JUST on MST for Windows 7 on the MST website if you want to see if other people are having similar troubles. The thread youve posted is concerned with Vista and XP, but it may still be useful.
MST will work regardless if you use Mediacentre or not. Alot of people simply use it in your circumstance, to make sure their computer can come in and out of sleep without problems.
NOTE: When playing with MST, you may have to restart after changing settings. Always restart and then try sleep in between changing settings for ease of troubleshooting.
Make sure in the devices Tab in MST (after hitting refresh) the keyboard is ticked so it's allowed to wake the computer, as well as the mouse. In fact, I'd tick EVERYTHING in there except LAN cards, to make sure you've got everything set to wake up the computer. I'll send a screeshot later tonight if you're having trouble.
In the USB tab, you probably want to start off with "USB selective suspend disable" UNticked. Then try it ticked to see if you're keyboard will wake the computer up. If the mouse won't work on Resume, try the next 2 boxes in the tab, tick the disable fastresume box and try and then the other one (can't think what it is called) and try. Then try them together.
Also, MST makes a log file while its being run. That log file is usually stored in your C:\Users\"Your user Name" directory for example on mine it would be in the C:\Users\Administrator folder. If you can upload that file, I can have a look and try to see what is going on.
The powercfg command run in command prompt in Win 7 is also an excellent tool. You can find out what drivers\processes are causing the computer to stay awake by typing:
powercfg -requests
This will list the system devices\processes, if any, that are requiring system time and stopping the computer from sleeping, however with MST enabled, it should force sleep regardless of the process. It seems this is what is happening, you just can't get it to wake, like me before I updated the RAID drivers.
powerfcg -energy
This command firstly monitors your computer's power needs for 60secs and settings, analyses the results and then produces an .html log file. If you can upload or copy\paste this, we can see if anything is massively out of the ordinary (almost always there are errors in this log file, but they don't always effect the power settings for sleep)
