Vista - IntelliType Pro/Point options for PC to turn off greyed out

3 Weeks Ago

The Power Management tabs of both of these devices have a greyed out option
'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power', which isn't
checked. Therefore, regardless of which power state I put my PC into, the
keyboard and mouse remain on. How do I make this option available and active,
and does/can it apply for all power states?

If you turn off power to the devices you will not be able to wake the
computer from a sleep state with either the mouse or keyboard. It is the
same as removing the battery. Therefore this option is not available. My
keyboard/mouse show the same condition.. The mouse/keyboard likely go into
"low power mode" anyway. Don't worry so much.
