    I can't seem to prevent the mouse (or keyboard for that matter) from waking up the computer (Vista 32) from standby. I already unchecked "Allow this device to wake the computer" option under device manager.

    I have the VX revolution, and just turn it upside down to prevent it from waking the computer.

    What laptop do you have? This happens with external mice, the touchpad, and the keyboard?
