Cannot get pc out of standby using mouse/keyboard

Hi.
I can put my XP Pro computer in standby using the sleep button on my MS
wireless keyboard. But I cannot get it out of standby using the space bar or
the mouse. I have checked everything: Both keyboard and mouse (the wireless
receiver) are plugged into the PS/2 ports - In BIOS SETUP APM both mouse and
keyboard are enabled to power up the computer when in standby. In the
hardware Power Management tab is checked "Allow this device to bring the
computer out of standby" for both mouse and keyboard. I notice when I put the
pc in Standby using the Sleep button on my keyboard, the light indicator on
the wireless receiver turns off. The only way to get the computer out of
Standby is to press the power button. What did I miss in my troubleshooting ?
It is a fairly new PC and the Motherboard BIOS is updated. I simply vant figure out why the power to the mouse/keyboard receiver is turned off when the PC goes into standby(??)

I would really
appreciate if some one could help or give me a hint!

Thanks, Anders

I guess that when they designed the system they never thought anyone would be using a wireless KB and Mouse, have you tried a wired KB and Mouse to see if it works with them..?

Hello - and thanks for your reply.
To the best of my recollection I did that shortly after purchasing my new computer.
However, I will have to try this out again.

It is a mystery why the power is turned off to the wireless KB/Mouse receiver (green indicator turns off) when I put the PC on standby...this must be caused by the mainboard on the PS/2 ports but in SETUP the APM is on and power up options for mouse and keyboard are enabled. BIOS is updated to the most recent one. ....
