<p>WinXP, Gigaware wireless optical mouse.. after several minutes (around 5) of mouse inactivity (you can still be using keyboard) the mouse pointer won't move if I move the mouse. Only after I click or right click a button of it the mouse wakes up and pointer starts moving.</p> <p>I checked the Properties of the mouse in Device Manager, and Mouse applet in Control Panel, and didn't see anything that could control it.</p> <p>How can I make my mouse stay awake?</p>

<p>This is probably a "feature" of the wireless mouse itself. </p> <p>I have a wireless laptop mouse that does the same thing - it puts itself to sleep to save battery power, and it requires a click to wake it up.</p>

<p>Some ideas:</p> <p>Check Device Manager / Mouse Properties / Details / Power State Mappings, to see if it's similar to this:</p> <p><img src="http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5305/screen004ng.jpg" alt="image"></p> <p>Then try to find in the software that came with your mouse if there is any reference to a Power-save mode that can be disabled.</p> <p>If not, try to find a newer version of the driver on the manufacturer's site, that will maybe have a way to disable Power-save.</p> <p>And lastly, as there are so many bad <a href="http://butterfliesandbugaboosnielsenfamily.blogspot.com/2008/02/gigaware-wireless-optical-mouse.html" rel="nofollow">reviews</a> for this mouse, buy another one.</p>
