Symptom: After my computer wakes a hardware device doesn't restart or I have lost connectivity (XP)

Remedy:

Some Devices on your computer may not be set up with the correct power management options, in order to set these correctly a few minor adjustments may be required.

1. USB devices including modems need to be told how to behave when the computer is put into standby.

Go to the Control Panel then click on System
 
 

Then select the Hardware tab, then Device Manager.

Now Right Click on the device in question and select "Properties"

Then go to the Power Management tab and try checking the tick box that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
 

 

Now test the ecobutton™ to see if this cures the issue.

2. The device in question may have an old device driver that is out of date.

Use the "Update Driver" button to install the latest version and test to see if this cures the issue.
