Which is why I was saying to check the various devices like NIC & Mouse, etc... to make sure they have "Allow this device to bring system out of standby" checked.

Many of those update could have changed that. If not, then I'd guess you're right & it's a bug.

When my i8200 is manually "suspended", I must push the power switch to wake it up again. Otherwise it wakes on keyboard or mouse activity from simple sleeping.


Well, my latitude didn't behave like this before the patch, but now I can not let it <stand by> or it requires the power switch to bring it back to life. If I restore my backup image it goes back to behaving like it did before, which tells me it has nothing to do with hardware.

The patch has changed something in the OS that effects laptop Power Settings but doesn't appear as a option. I have read through what the roll up does and I don't see any mention of Power. I' guessing that this is a unintended bug

After thinking about it, I realized that this laptop has three jobs, Print Server, extra backup storage, and I use it to upload a weekly backup with ftp.

The only time I launch Internet explorer is to get updates that I don't really need. I run System Works firewall and anti virus in the background, probably don't need them. But in any case I am going back to my image file and forget about any other updates.




Are you sure that all the "Allow this device to wake" settings are still enabled in the NIC setup, etc...?
