Original Title: "Wake-up" key in "Acer" keyboard Model Nº: 6312-TA of Windows XP Desktop PC.

¡Hello!

I have a Desktop PC "Windows XP" Home Edition SP3.

The keyboard is "Acer" Model No.: 6312-TA . It is about 2001, the keyboard.

The matter is that in the keyboard, there is a "Wake-up key".  But I don't know how to use it. One of the boys in the shop, where I bought it, tried the keyboard I took out of the Desktop PC  and tried it recently in a computer of the shop.

He said, it did not go.

There are two other keys, next to the "Wake-up" key, one is for putting the PC in "suspension" mode (and it is simbolized by a big "Z**"** followed by two or three smaller ones), and the third last is for shutting down (simbolized by a plug-drawing crossed out).

These last two keys go well.

Where could I find information on how to use this "Wake-up" key??

Should I change something in "Energy options" in "Control Panel"?

    Hi!!

    And the "Screen Saver" has also anything to do with "Energy Options"?

    How should one configure it?

    I think I have set none in the desktop PC , in recent times.

    Yes, it is an Acer.

    It may be around 2002, not 2001 .

    In your keyboard photos, the "Wake", "Suspend" and "Shut down" buttons are not the same ones as mines.

    In my keyboard, those buttons are symbolized by drawings, as I noted in my first opening theme message.

    In the photos that appear of "BenQ" keyboard in that web, in those keys the Words "Wake" , "Suspend" and "Shut Down" are printed on those keys.

    Click Start, Turn Off Computer..., Stand By

    I don't have that keyboard so I am not sure what those keyboard buttons are supposed to do.

    I have no idea on that one.

    Did you enable the Power Management for the keyboard to bring the system out of Stand By and is that part working?  You don't have to use the "Wake Up" button on your keyboard - pressing any key on the keyboard (well, just about any key) should bring the system out of Stand By.

    Hi!!

    In "Power Management", I have "When I press the button "turn on": "turn off"; and "When I press the button "Suspend": "suspend" , I think.

    Well, I have put the PC in "suspension" mode, and neither the mouse nor the very key "Suspend" can bring the system out of "Suspension" mode.

    Only by pressing the button on the tower or CPU, the PC could exit "Suspension".

    Well, I want you to explain to me how can I put the PC in "Standby" mode.

    Never before have I heard of that "Energy option".
