When I move my mouse, my laptop wakes up from stand-by...?

Question

I bought a wirless mouse for my notebook pc. It was on sale so I thought I'd but it. The problem I'm having is that whenever I put my computer to sleep/stand-by, it turns on when the mouse moves. Even when the mouse moves just an inch, it would wake up the computer. I find it annoying because when I shut the drawer from my desk, it vibrates and moves the mouse, just an inch, and it turns on my laptop. How can I stop this from happening? I don't want to have to remove the USB receiver all the time because my friend does that and now the slot is really loose. Is there some sort of settings that I can modify to stop the computer from waking up when the mouse is moved? Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Yes, the settings are in the device manager under the mouse device. Remove the check box that says to use your mouse to wake the computer from stand-by or sleep mode.
