Hi

I'm using a PIII 850 with XP pro sp2 installed. When I put the pc into
stanby it does it but then I'm unable to wake it. Keyboard and mouse
inactive - neither are USB. The only solution on the knowledge base refers
to a problem with a USB mouse?

Any ideas anyone??
 
MS hasn't admitted there is a bug in USB for SP2 yet, but I expect a new
'critical update' any time now <g>

I suggest trying some things with USB, like using device manager to
uninstall usb, and HUB drivers, as well as the mouse and keyboard.

If no help I would try going into your BIOS to see if some S3 setting (for
ACPI, nee: 'standby') is keeping you from waking the system. Also checking
for a BIOS update for sp2 wouldn't hurt.
