Yesterday I installed this easy access keyboard (Compaq) on my clone computer (a K6-II 500MHz, 64 PC133 RAM, 6GB SAMSUNG HDD ), actually got the exact driver for this keyboard and all of the keys are working just perfectly, the problem is that now after a while of inactivity it goes into sleep mode automatically and won't wake up, I want to take this auto-sleep mode off, how can I do this ??? Oh and also when I make it go to sleep by pressing the sleep button it won't wake up if a press a key on the keyboard, it'll only wake up by moving the mouse (how can I make it wake up by pressing a key on the keyboard ?).... Any help would be deeply appreciated...
