It seems to me that there are often problems with USB devices exiting hibernate.

One of my laptops often "loses" it's USB connected RF mouse/keyboard. These are connected via a usb hub.

Another loses all the stuff connected via a port replicator until I power the port replicator on/off. Specifically a USB mouse and pen drive.

My wifes usually loses hey HP Printer.

This is a long shot, but try restarting the service in charge of mice/keyboards i.e. "Human Interface Device Access" - under "Services" in the Control Panel

USB to PS2 converter

I have just bought a port emulator for my laptop and wanted to use an old mouse and keyboard with it. As these were PS2 rather than USB I bought a USB to PS2 converter since the emulator only had USB ports.

It works well apart from one thing: if the laptop hibernates or the screen saver kicks in then the external keyboard wont initially work. However, unplugging them from the converter and plugging them back in, solves the problem!! Not exactly condusive to being able to tuck the cables down behind the desk!

Any suggestions?
