Mouse and standby

Postby expat » Thu Jun 22, 2006 12:57 pm

Maybe it is me, but does anyone have the following problem.
I have an IR mouse. When the computer is put to standby, at some point the computer is back up and running all on its own. I am 100% sure that the mouse has not been touched, often it is only me at home. If however I turn the mouse upside down and then put the computer on standby, their it stays for as long as I leave it. Are IR mice more sensitive than a standard "ball" mouse, or is windows extracting the yellow liquid as usual?

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

IR mice are far more sensitive. Sometimes I catch my cursor migrating across the screen when i'm not even touching the mouse.

Intrestingly though when I put my machine on standby I can't get it back with the mouse at all. :P
