Endless Paradigm

Alright so recently I can't move my mouse to wake up my computer like i used to so i have to press the Power button on my tower and that is annoying as fudge.

So, If you have any idea on how to fix it please help

This makes me

Did you check bios?

Quote:By default, the Power Management feature of USB mouse devices is turned off. This setting is different from classic PS/2 computer functionality. Therefore, to enable the Wake from standby option, you must manually turn on the Power Management feature for the USB mouse.

To manually enable the Wake from standby option for the USB mouse, start Device Manager, right-click the USB mouse driver, click Properties, and then click to select the "Allow this device to wake the system from standby" check box.

Thanks (haven't tried it yet but I'm going to test it)

EDIT:

It seems to already be enabled but nothing happens..

Apparently my keyboard lights go *poof* and this has been happening only recently so i think somehow my computer is purposely turning them off...

Uhh, have you checked your BIOS settings?

Ehh what is that?
(I'm a noob shush)

Reboot the computer - right at the beginning (either the logo display, or some DOS-like text) you'll need to hit a certain key to go into the BIOS setup (it's usually Delete, if not that, try F1, F2, F8, F10, F11 or F12).  If done right, you'll be brought to a DOS-like screen with setup options.  There's usually a menu item with something to do with power, check in there and see if wake on keyboard/mouse is enabled.

okay i will do that...

i have to click the button on my mouse to wake up from sleep mode

I also think somewhere in your screen saver settings there is a checkbox that is like wake on keyboard and wake on mouse...
not sure though

No...
Okay I keep getting boot stuff (i might be doing this at the wrong point maybe)
I will try just a tad bit later...
After that I'm gonna go to shleep

EDIT: Alright nothing is happening...
Any other ways to access bios?
