    Computer won't sleep or hibernate!

    Since installing a recent windows update I have not been able to put my computer in sleep or hibernate mode. Instead of stopping windows, my system only stops the signal to my monitor and keeps running so when I move my mouse the signal continues. Fortunately, it still shuts down, but it makes time spent between cessions with windows increase as I must shut down and boot up each time. I'd rather not pay $60 for Microsoft to listen to me. Here are the details for the update. Is anyone else having this problem? Has it been resolved?

    Are you using a USB mouse or keyboard?

    Are you using a remote or attempting to put it into sleep mode via the start sleep feature?

    The problem I was having was with the remote until I moved it about 5 feet from the sensor (I put the wireless sensor on the left side of the monitor). Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but I still manage (on most nights) to get it to sleep if not with the remote then with the start sleep feature. Sometimes it refuses to sleep because it is processing something that I cannot see ala a scheduled task.

    I had the same problem using a Microsoft Wireless mouse. The optional update titled "HID Non-User Input Data Filter" fixed the problem.

    I had this problem, if your networked make sure you set multimedia in advanced setting to allow sleep

    I have already instaled the "HID Non-User Input Data Filter" but do not know which settings you are referring to. Would you please tell me where to change them?
