I have been putting my PC into 'standby' mode but every now and then it

'wake up' out of standby mode.
I have a somewhat related issue, though it's on XP. That PC only has
a USB port available for a mouse connection. Under some seemingly
totally random circumstances, maybe once a month, when the PC needs
to be reawakened or reactivated or brought back from screen-saver or
whatever the condition currently is where it's been locked, the
mouse simply doesn't work.
Huge irritation to come back to it and discover that the mouse is
"dead". Only keyboard activity is possible. The choice, then, is to
keyboard through every open process to shut them down and then
reboot, or to suffer through whatever work needs to be brought to a
safe point until a reboot is rational.
/NOT/ a WDSC issue but a general PC issue. Regardless, it can sure
how an irritating affect on WDSC work. (Not mention every other
flippin' window that I might have open.) Learning all WDSC keyboard
shortcuts can be a real work-saver.
The requirement for PC-locking can really put dents into an
afternoon's productivity sometimes.
