Question:
Compaq V6000 not sleeping or screen-blanking
My new Compaq V6137US seems to ignore any Power control panel settings; it just stays running all of the time when plugged in with the display on regardless of what I set the power settings to be. If I run the power manager reset program from HP's website and reboot, those default settings will work, but as soon as a change something in the Power control panel, everything stops working again.
Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks,
Matt

I found the problem. If my Microsoft wireless notebook mouse is plugged in, it won't sleep or anything. I guess that thing continuously sends activity across USB, making XP think the system isn't ever idle.
thanks anyway!
