I previously posted this in a Logitech foroum but hav eyet to obtain a
solution. Here is my issue:

I just began using my MX Revolution mouse and have noticed my PC will not
fully go to Standby/Sleep. It does go to another state in that the monitor
goes to standby. When I tap the keyboard to bring the monitor back I do get
my password screen as I usually do when I come out of standby, but it is
obvious the pc is not going to the standby state. With my old Microsoft
mouse that was corded, sleep meant a PC that was if it was off, no fans now
whirling noises, all was stopped.

When I disconnect the MX Revolution micro receiver from the USB port and
connect my old Microsoft corded mouse there is no problem having the PC go
to Standby/Sleep. I am guessing there may be an easy solution to this
problem.

Any suggestions?

thanks, Bob

Not using that mouse is the answer. Or you could try tweaking power
management for the mouse. Find it in Device Manager. Then right click to
access its properties. On the power management tab, you can elect to
allow/disallow sleep to the mouse. Also whether or not the mouse can be
used to resume the PC from sleep.

If the mouse is allowed to wake the computer (default setting), the
wireless technology for the mouse keeps the system awake. Reason: The
constant polling for mouse input is considered "as activity.
 
Perfect!

I went to the "Power Management" tab and noted the "Allow this device to
bring the computer out of stanby" box was checked. I unchecked the box and
now the PC goes to sleep properly.

Thank you very much, Robert

If you are using Vista, the mouse is keeping the computer alive by
sending a signal every X second.

I had this problem on a laptop and Microsoft has a hotfix for it.

Search the MS site.
