Vista being woken by what?

Hi All

I'm having a problem with my machine, something is waking it from Sleep, and
I cannot seem to find out when and what is causing it to wake.

The system is connected to a APC UPS. So the power is not going off to it.

I have looked through the task scheduler and nothing has "wake the PC to
perform this task" each day I come home from work the machine is running and
I cannot find what is waking it up.

I think my next task will be switch off the LAN from waking the PC - I'm not
sure what else I can look at. I have recently installed a TV Card in the
machine, however I think it was doing this prior to me installing it.

Ideas and help appreciated.

Let me ask just one question...

Do you have a cordless mouse or keyboard installed on the computer?
Sometimes when the system is sitting, the radio sensor can pick up something
stray and it causes it to wake the computer. I noticed you said you had it
sleeping, now I'm not sure if this still works when it is in sleep, but I
think the mouse or keyboard can wake some computers when they are sleeping.
I'm not positive this is the problem, but it is an idea!
