I am using the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop with Bluetooth with a Dell D600 running XP SP! with all current updates. The problem is that the connection between the hardware will become lost and the keyboard and the mouse stop responding. However, if one was to look under WIRELESS in the control panel you could see that the laptop think everything is cool. Big Boo!

I have to restart to get the connection back.


Can anyone throw some knowledge my way?

An idea: you could look under the USB configuration (use the Windows Key + Break Key to access the System Properties and then Device Manager) and check if there is a tab "Power Management" there (for each USB device). You might find an option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

Oh soooo close. I made the changes and it worked all day until about 3:15. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

... And make sure you don't use Hibernate or Standby. Always turn your computer off and on, instead of pressing the sleep button...
