>Hi,go to control panel and click the mouse icon then
click on the hardware tab then the properties button then
select the "power management" tab last uncheck the box
which says allow this device to bring the computer out of
standby.

You may want to follow the same steps for the keyboard
but have the block checked so pressing any button "will"
wake your computer.Good Luck
