Re: Wireless Desktop problems

Does the receiver connect to the PC via USB ? - if so, the default
Power Savings on the USB Root Hub may be the cause. Open
Device Manager and expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers
category. Double-Click each USB Root Hub and then the Power
Management (TAB). Check and see if the option box "Allow XP
to Turn off this device to Save Power" is checked.
