Your thinking about the wrong type of hub. Here is what I am talking about. http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/mi... There is a rest button on there just to inform you. Just say "Bus Power Hub" instead. Bus powered buses are limited to 4 ports anyways because they can only use a total of 4 100mA units. But it doesn't matter anyways since I'm not using external hub. The only hub I'm using is the one built into the USB Host Controller itself. See that pic above? As I stated, if I press the button on it, (reset button), that will wakeup the computer again, but then put it in back into sleep mode. I was just thinking, I switched MinSleep to S3, before it was at S1 using dumppo. I'm not sure if this was when I started experiencing the "When I reboot, it shuts off syndrome". Could there any settings in that program which could change it?

Unless you provide the model number of that Microsoft device, I have no idea what that is in that picture, and I don't see any USB connector on the cord. It looks like a dual (mouse/keyboard) PS/2 to USB adapter, or dual PS/2 to wireless adapter - it's not technically a hub. "The only hub I'm using is the one built into the USB Host Controller itself." That's not a USB hub, technically speaking - each port on the mboard is connected directly to a USB controller - often two ports connect to one controller, and you have two or more controllers, but on more recent mboards more than two ports may connect to one USB controller. A hub more properly refers to something with 2 or more of the same type of ports that are shared for the same purpose - e.g. a USB hub (any usb device), or an Ethernet or Network (cable) hub (any ethernet device). A PS/2 port for a mouse usually has different wiring from that of a PS/2 port for a keyboard (there are a few mboards where the wiring is there for either at either PS/2 port). I don't know what dumppo is. ..... I took a look at your manual. Bios Setup settings. Power - After Power Failure - you may want to set it to Stay Off (optional. Last State may not be what you want.) Power - Wake on PCI PME - set it to Power On Turning this on is necessary to be able to "wake" the computer. (mandatory) Power - ACPI- ACPI Suspend State - the default S1 should be fine. It's unlikely it was S3 before. You could try S3 but I doubt it would help. Power - ACPI- Wake on LAN from S5 - turn it on if you want that (optional; most people don't want that) Wake Up Devices and Events - page 52 of the pdf. It seems all those events except wake on LAN which isn't turned on by default will wake up the computer. Many mentions of Wake in the manual. Advanced - Peripheral Configuration - Parallel port - Mode - set it to EPP or ECP if you have any scanner or printer or multifunction device newer than 1998 or so connected to the parallel port - Bi-directional will not allow those to work properly. (mandatory if you have such a device). Advanced - USB Configuration - USB 2.0 Legacy Support - you may want to set it to Hi Speed instead of Full Speed (optional). ....... If that doesn't help, try another Power Supply. It does say in the manual you must have adequate 5vsb capacity, but it doesn't seem to state how much, saying it depends on the power requirements of what you are waking up.

Oops - saying it depends on the power requirements of what you are using to wake up the computer.

"Unless you provide the model number of that Microsoft device, I have no idea what that is in that picture, and I don't see any USB connector on the cord. It looks like a dual (mouse/keyboard) PS/2 to USB adapter, or dual PS/2 to wireless adapter - it's not technically a hub." Actually, it's been called "receiver", "hub", alot of things. It's not a PS/2 to USB adapter. It's a USB to PS/2 adapter. It IS infact a USB device! It's a Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard W/ Mouse & Hub. You could say that it is an hub and that it is brings connectivity to both keyboard and mouse. Therefor, they share the same purpose. To "Connect" to one device. That would be the same if you were to use the same logic of connecting two different devices to a USB hub such as a gamepad, or digital camera. Both devices are different, but they are of the same type; USB Devices. "That's not a USB hub, technically speaking - each port on the mboard is connected directly to a USB controller - often two ports connect to one controller, and you have two or more controllers, but on more recent mboards more than two ports may connect to one USB controller." It's actually a USB Root Hub. It's a hub too. Some of them have 2 ports like you said, others have 7. I have 4 USB Host controllers for this chipset. It's the USB controller that assigns each USB device a 7 bit address to identify that address, (2^7). HID (Human Interface Devices) are amongst those kind. Power - Wake on PCI PME - set it to Power On Turning this on is necessary to be able to "wake" the computer. (mandatory) I had this on, on this current firmware, and would keep the computer on, when I would shut it off. I had to switch to off to correct this problem. But the computer is WAKING up for USB. Like I said. If I press the switch on receiver/hub/whatever else it's called, it will bring the computer back to life like Frankenstein would. But then it would shut off. To sum this up, I'll try a few settings you suggested In order for you to switch to S1 to S3, you have to forward this state to Windows XP as well, or else Windows XP will choose the MinSleep state of the bios of when you first installed Windows XP! There has been no-other way to change it. As long as you're using an ACPI compliant power supply/computer , you have to change it in XP as well. Dumppo.exe will do this for you. Changing it in the bios did not work.

"Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard W/ Mouse & Hub" is not anywhere near the proper description. I chopped off the last part of your link to the picture of the receiver and went here: http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/mi... to find a review and the proper name of your Microsoft product: MICROSOFT WIRELESS OPTICAL DESKTOP On page 2 of that review, http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/mi... the reviewer calls the same thing as in your picture a wireless hub/receiver, and says you can plug in a USB connector or a PS/2 connector for the mouse, but only a PS/2 connector for the keyboard. Just because the reviewer calls it a hub doesn't mean that is what Microsoft calls it - I think that's not a proper term in this case. On page 4 of that review http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/mi... he says Microsoft wants you to install the software first, then plug in the receiver. Did you do that? As in, did you connect a different keyboard, install the software for the MICROSOFT WIRELESS OPTICAL DESKTOP set, then plug in the receiver? If you didn't, I suggest you Uninstall the devices for it in Device Manager, and Uninstall the software in Add and Remove Software, and install it the proper way. There is no documentation for this product, other than a spec sheet, on the Microsoft web site. I have no idea what you call the reset button on the receiver does - I suspect it resets the wireless connection if it is faulty. To say pressing the reset button briefly starting up the computer proves the wake on stuff is working is a leap of logic - it doesn't necessarily prove anything. Things you could try. If you still have a conventionally connected keyboard and mouse, - try installing the wireless set the proper way - software first, Once you have done that, try Power - Wake on PCI PME - set it to Power On. - remove the receiver, connect the other keyboard and mouse, Power - Wake on PCI PME - set it to Power On. Try the computer to see if it's restart, and Wake on features work properly. You may need to uninstall the MICROSOFT WIRELESS OPTICAL DESKTOP set devices and software as well. - try the MICROSOFT WIRELESS OPTICAL DESKTOP set with the USB disconnected, both PS/2 connectors connected instead, Power - Wake on PCI PME - set it to Power On.

"the reviewer calls the same thing as in your picture a wireless hub/receiver, and says you can plug in a USB connector or a PS/2 connector for the mouse, but only a PS/2 connector for the keyboard. Just because the reviewer calls it a hub doesn't mean that is what Microsoft calls it - I think that's not a proper term in this case." Hmmm, I don't think you understand how this works. It's a hub because it connects BOTH Keyboard and Mouse together. I'll say it again. It connects both keyboard and mouse. There is only 1 USB Plug for keyboard and mouse or PS/2. On page 4 of that review http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/mi... he says Microsoft wants you to install the software first, then plug in the receiver. Sleep/Calculator/Log Off and the rest of the 100 or so keys are covered by the basic Optical Desktop Driver. It's the custom commands that are propriortary. Eg, changing volume, custom shortcuts etc which need the full driver. "To say pressing the reset button briefly starting up the computer proves the wake on stuff is working is a leap of logic - it doesn't necessarily prove anything." Actually, if you think about it, it does prove one thing. The computer is able to wakeup. I'm lucky, some computers can't wakeup at all. So this means wakeup is working, but it's also faulty as well. When I press the rest button on the hub, it actually resets the channel, and cycles through the caps, scroll lock, and F key lock as well. This will send a signal to the USB Host Controller and if USB is set to wakeup from sleep, then this should indeed wake it up. That's a start, but why the keyboard and mouse won't is another mystery. Any command I type is directed to the hub then to the controller where the 7 bit address is looked up. However, the keyboard and mouse have there own address because they're a separate HID devices. This keyboard is "It's own device". It is defined in Device Manager. You can check "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby". It is unclear why the hub for the keyboard/mouse can wake the computer up. Possibly, any command to the USB controller will wake the computer up. That means, if you unplug your printer, and re-plug it in on stand-by, it should wake-up again if it's USB of course. This logic would also imply that even if you have "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" uncheck, then, pressing a key on yoru keyboard should wake it up still because it's the USB controller waking up the computer, not the keyboard itself. This sounds weird, but the logic proves this to be correct. If I put my printer on, while my PC is in sleep mode, it will wake-it up again, but of course, go back into a permanent sleep mode right after. I'm going to try a 370watt p/s spare I have. I will reply back when I have tried another power supply.
