Vista - USB keyboard and mouse disabled after sleep mode

I have a usb wireless HP keyboard and a kensington usb trackball that will
not come back on after I bring the system back from sleep mode. It looks
like all the USB ports are disabled. I've tried unplugging the devices and
plugging them back in and that doesn't do anything.

I have to completely reboot the system to get the devices back.

The best way to avoid this problem is to not use power-saving modes that
cause problems. Likely HP will update their drivers and resolve the issue
at a later date.

Naw - my USB keyboard and Mouse (both MS devices) are set to "Allow xx to
wake the computer" mode and they still fail to do so when Vista RTM is put to
sleep.

Sounds like a Vista bug to me.

I have a USB mouse and speakers, and usually one or both of them fail to
work on wake-up. Definitely a Vista bug.

For me it works too - try looking into your BIOS and check what it says
about USB and ACPI (the power safing features). Let us know if playing there
helps.
