Mouse Won't Wake PC

[scnrfrq]

I can only wake my PC from sleep using the keyboard. How do I get it to do it with the mouse? My Logitech mouse does not have a power management tab under Properties.

I'd guess you might want to check your bois for the option and make sure your mouse drivers are correct.

If you have an optical mouse (light on the bottom), some models cannot wake the computer when the light is out. I know I must use the keyboard. You can check to see if the mouse is set up to wake.

Control panel>mouse>hardware>properties>change settings>power options.

I don't have the change settings-power options under properties?

Dont you have change settings? Read my post again.

If not, it means to me that your mouse does not have the capablity of waking the computer.

I just have tabs for General, Driver, Details.

If this does not work, your mouse cannot wake the computer

Type device manager in search

Click on mouse

Click on the information that drops down

Change settings


Power management.

Try the side clicks on the mouse to wake the computer, if you have them.

Nope - don't have those choices

If your mouse has the side clicks, see if that wakes it. I think that your mouse does not have the ability to wake or drivers should be replaced.

Nope, no luck. I'm really even more interested in getting rid of the search box that comes up every time the pc wakes up.

Did you check for updated mouse drivers?

As a rule when the search box comes up, it means that you have saved searches. Read this and clear all saved searches.

I do have a Saved Search that keeps re-creating itself every time the pc awakes, even after I delete it. I thought that might be the problem. The name of it is "Indexed Locations". I also went into Indexing Options and deleted all indexing on the pc, but this Saved Search keeps showing up. How can I permanently delete this?

Unfortunately Logitech's 4.80 drivers cause lots of problems, so I didn't install them.

Here is a suggestion on how to delete searches
Clear Search Terms

I have found it to be good policy to make a system restore point prior to making any changes to the computer. 99% of the time this precaution is not needed, but you may be that 1%. Good luck

The decison is up to you. You can either take a chance and download the problem drivers (I would not), or have a mouse that does not wake the computer. You do not need the mouse, just tap the keyboard. Good luck

All I have under that registry key besides default is MRUListEx, whatever that is?

 

[richc46]

I am not sure of that entry. With the registry, the best rule is unless sure leave it alone; even if you saved the registry beforehand. I have seen too many problems.

Both my Bluetooth Keyboard and Bluetooth Mouse CANNOT wake up Windows 7 too. "Wake up system" are all ENABLED but the problem is NOT solved. Very disappointed with Windows 7.
