standby mode

[kay]

when left unattended for a short period of time my mouse
will not work. I have to restart my computer. Also, my
computer will not go into standby mode.

Go to control panel > Mouse > Hardware tab.
highlight your mouse (ps/2)> Properties> Power management
tab.
Check the option "allow this device to bring the computer
out of standby"
For standby issues, this is the best list I have found.
