Sensitivity returning from monitor off state

The machine is running WinXP Pro. Currently the users can't be
bothered to switch off the monitor when they are done with the
machine, so it's configured to power off the monitor after 30 minutes.
The problem is sometimes walking by the machine, or a truck driving by
outside, will cause the monitor to switch on again.

I'd like to set the machine up so that the only way to make it return
from a monitor off state is to press a key on the keyboard, or less
preferably increase the mouse sensitivity required. I've noticed the
mouse isn't being moved very much because it will only switch on the
screen, but it's not enough to deactivate the screensaver.

Vibration is causing the mouse to move slightly and wake the machine. Turn
the mouse over on its back.
