Sleep Mode Problem

When I go into Sleep Mode, upon restarting, I find that my mouse and
keyboard do not work. I can't do anything. As a result, I have to turn off
the power to my PC and reboot to get back up and running. Has this
happened to anyone else? Is there anything that I can do? Or, is this just
"Vista being Vista"?

TIA,

Jerry

When I setup my new HP desktop, I checked it out with the HP wireless
keyboard and mouse. worked ok. Then I connected my MS Elite wireless kb
and mouse. Worked ok, Then installed software to get the features. Worked
ok. Then over time, I was getting the same problem waking or resuming from
some screensavers. I also thought it was "Vista being Vista". Going back
to the HP kb and mouse and uninstalling the MS software cured the problem.
