Program/Drivers Doesn't work well

Okay, here's a good one that I've come across and I'm sure there is an expert among all of you that can tell me how to do this. I have a Warpia device (to show my screen on the TV). Now before I install the software, when my computer's screen goes black (I guess asleep), and I touch the touch pad it wakes up and says "What Do You Want To Do". So we are on our merry way. However, if I install the software to the Warpia to watch something on my large TV screen instead of my computer screen (mostly a movie that the wife wants to watch as well), I have to install the software. When the movie is over with, I have to uninstall it so the next time my screen goes black all I have to do is touch the touch pad. If I don't unstall the software, then I have to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to get to the task manager and hit cancel. So my question is, is there away to run this software without actually installing it or what can I do?

Have you asked the support folks for the Warpia device for assistance?

Yes I did and here is their reply:

Our hardware, combined with our software, wakes teh Warpia device a video card. When our software is installed the laptop has to interact with our video drivers. Laptops can handle power management a little differently than desktops in that they have a more direct relationship with the on-board graphics card than one would typically find in a desktop.

So my thinking on this is that the laptop is not interacting well with our driver. We've only come across this issue three times in the last three years so I don't think it's an issue in our driver.

What power settings do you have on your laptop? How about the power settings for all USB devices connected to your laptop, especially the Warpia device?
