It is unclear whether Mr. Urban is just a Vista victim like the rest of us
or is a representative of Microsoft. If the former, his naivete is
impressive; if the latter, his effrontery is astounding.
We did exactly as he suggested. Eventually, we replaced our set-up with a
MICROSOFT wireless keyboard and mouse, naturally Vista-certified, and just as
others have reported before us, found it impossible to revive these devices
after 'sleep'. No joy contacting this manufacturer's website!!!
Further, as noted by other users in a different series of whines, sleep does
NOT turn off the monitor at its designated time but only at the later time
set for the whole system.
Microsoft is a real disgrace. They should fined under product labelling laws
in both the USA and the EU (product does not perform as advertised!!) and
made to compensate its Vista victims worldwide.
