    Hello all

    I recently changed from a Thinkpad T60 to a Thinkpad T400 laptop, both using
    XP Professional. I have a USB KVM switch to use a single keyboard, monitor
    and mouse for this laptop and a desktop. My problem is that when I switch
    back to the T400 from the desktop it takes almost 20 seconds before the USB
    mouse and keyboard become active again. When I had the T60, also running XP
    Pro, the mouse and keyboard came back immediately. This is the same switch,
    monitor, mouse and keyboard that was being used in both situations. I am
    wondering if there is a USB or other config setting on the T400 that is not
    set properly. When the mouse and keyboard finally do wake up, they are fine,
    no problems with them.

    Any help would be appreciated as it is annoying to have to wait for them to
    "wake" up.

    Thanks Tom
