Preventing mouse movement from waking from standby on Windows 98 SE.

Anyone know of a way or setting to prevent the mouse from triggering a
computer from resuming from standby on Windows 98 SE. I know there is
a setting in Windows XP but there doesn't seem to be one in Windows 98
SE.

Thanks

 

Start | Run <type in>
main.cpl
<enter>

you've tried that. or editing registry for the CLSD for the mouse.
Good luck finding it.


Start | Run <type in>
powercfg.cpl
<enter>

Might give better results

 

CLSID, and my bad it wouldn't be for the mouse.

If you wish to trace your problem, download and run (with filters)
Process Monitor http://tinyurl.com/6mmnad , finding a mouse movement
to wake the OS would be a challenge.

 

Place the mouse in a position where the ball or lasers or whatever have no
possible movement to detect - eg in a 'mouse cradle', or even just
upside-down.

If the mouse is connected via an easily accessible USB socket, unplug it.
Don't do that with a PS/2 socket though, as doing so while the computer is
powered up can damage the computer.

 

No. Shut your computer completely off it you're not using it. It stops
wasting electricity and windows slowdowns anyways.
