    I have a m15x. Where do I make the setting to allow my USB mouse to wake the 'puter up from sleep?

    Device Manager, Find the Mouse, Go to Power (Either Options or Management) Tab, and check "Let this device wake computer from sleep".

    That should work. ;)

    I do not have the option on my m15x,,,,,,,but on my desktop 'puter I do. They are both Vista OS. Maybe the m15x hardware just doesn't allow it?

    I don't think that you can. I went into Device manager->Universal Serial Bus Controllers->USB Root Hub->Power Managerment. But the option to allow it to wake the computer from sleep is not allowed.
