Is there no way of getting all my other devices to power off when I turn my
pc off - the monitor goes to stand-by but I have to switch it off, the
printer has to be switched off, the USB backlit keyboard stays on and has to
be switched off, the speakers/amp have to be switched off, the modem has to
be switched off (I did connect my USB trackball to the mouse port with an
adapter to spare the USB port but it only switches off if connected to the
USB port).
I think I'll have to rewire my surge protector multi-socket lead (which has
about 5/6 plugs in it which is another issue!) and put in a length of cable
and a master switch and connect it to my desk as everything is still drawing
power even when switched off - as indicated by the lights on the trackball
after turning off the pc and if you touch any printer button it starts up and
this is not when in 'power save mode'!
