Ongoing wake up from hibernate using MCE remote (1 Viewer)

[chenks]

i've got a Windows XP Pro PC which has an MCE remote connected to it.

i am able to put the PC to sleep and wake it up no probs with the remote. however, if i put the PC to hibernate then i am unable to wake the PC back up using the remote.

i believe this is because the USB receiver is not getting power while the PC is hibernated.

i have enable the device in the devicemanager to allow wakeup, and i have enable wakeup using keyb/mouse in the bios.

anyone else know what i need to do to enable to wakeup the PC from hibernate using the MCE remote.

there is a jumper on the systemboard that is to do with waking up the PC - i have tried it in both positions and didn't make any differnce.

the system is an AOpen MZ855-II barebones.

I do not know your specific barebone but resuming from hibernate solely depends on the Bios if everything is working for S3 sleep as well.

Most mainboards following the ACPI2000 standard should allow that; my system does without any hacks, registry settings or whatever.

so what do i need to be looking for then ?

everything works fine with sleep mode, just not for hibernate.

it has a Phoenix AwardBIOS

You should have a setting in your bios for ACPI 2.0 Support. Make sure that is enabled.

had a look in the BIOS and couldn't see anything specifically called that.

First thing, disable the USB keyboard, not necessary to run USB mouse\keyboard and actually causes more problems.

See if that alone cures your problem, you have full acpi support, otherwise would not be listed.

Being lazy here, try the MCE standby tool found here

And if all works well then, you just need to find out which setting the tool does, that makes it AOK.

Hi chenks!

I have a AOpen barebone myself (se specs.), based on 855GME chipset. I can't even wake it from S3 w/MCE-remote.

Was this ever a problem for you?

are you sure this will help?
the list of fixes doesn't mention anything about hibernate... it lists fixing a problem about waking from S3... but i am able to do that alreay.

also, it is not XP MCE i am using.. it is XP Pro.

Does not matter, it just configures all the necessary settings for standby\hibernate to work, it also lets you configure which items you want to be able to resume with, ie Remote\keyboard\mouse etc and allows a very easy tick this box approach.

if you have ever gone through device manager trying to decide which HID\KEYBOARD devices (and i have many listed) you want to be able to resume with, it can be a bit hit and miss, and this really simplifies it.
