    HI,

    I've got a SZ-VGN650 and have one little annoyance. When I place it in sleep mode, hitting any key will wake it up. I would like to have only the power button wake it up. Is there a way to do this?

    go to keyboard properties in device manager and uncheck option "allow this device to wake computer from sleep"

    I can't seem to find the option that you describe. I've checked in the device manager and also the control panel. The control panel gives me control of my blink setting and character repeat, but no wake computer from sleep. Is something that varies from computer to computer? My device has my keyboard as a standard PS/2 keyboard.
