I have labtec wireless keyboard and mouse and had no trouble on Win XP but
since moving to Vista I have a lot of trouble with them
The mouse totally looses it's connection after PC been to sleep and so i
can't wake it up without hard switching the machine off (hold down off
button) and then re-scanning to detect the mouse?

It is unclear whether Mr. Urban is just a Vista victim like the rest of us
or is a representative of Microsoft. If the former, his naivete is
impressive; if the latter, his effrontery is astounding.
We did exactly as he suggested. Eventually, we replaced our set-up with a
MICROSOFT wireless keyboard and mouse, naturally Vista-certified, and just as
others have reported before us, found it impossible to revive these devices
after 'sleep'. No joy contacting this manufacturer's website!!!
Further, as noted by other users in a different series of whines, sleep does
NOT turn off the monitor at its designated time but only at the later time
set for the whole system.
Microsoft is a real disgrace. They should fined under product labelling laws
in both the USA and the EU (product does not perform as advertised!!) and
made to compensate its Vista victims worldwide.
