    Is hibernation mode supposed to last only a certain amount of time? I just woke up from a nap, and as I regained consciousness, my computer did as well. I was across the room from it, the lid was closed, and the mouse was even off. But all of a sudden I heard my cooling pad turn on, so I checked, and it was waking up. Do I have a psychic link with my computer?

    And since I don't want to start 2 threads at the same time, I just now ran into a problem after installing RMClock. When I try to run the application, it tells me that I cannot load the RTCore64 drivers, and that I should make sure I'm not trying to load them from a read-only location and that I have admin privileges. It's all in a folder on my desktop, and I ran it as an administrator, so I don't know what's going on.

    So yeah, if anybody can shed some light on either issue, it would help.

    scheduled events will wake up your laptop, check event viewer. also, even if the lights on the mouse were off, it could still be on, and therefore slight vibrations (even from across the room) can disturb a good mouse and wake up the laptop. but if you're sure your mouse was off, then it has to be something else.

    It must have been a scheduled event then. My mouse isn't even supposed to turn on my computer even if it is on.

    You may want to check your network adapter settings as well, if they're set to wake the computer up you may need to change the setting to magic packet so only a WOL packet will turn it on rather than generic network activity. Should be under the details tab if you open the network adapters up in device manager.

    I didn't understand that, but I'll make sure I look into it as well, thanks.

    Anyone have any ideas about the other problem?

    This is from my desktop so it won't be exactly the same but this is the setting you should look at (should be pretty similar)
