Wake up key on the keyboard does not work

Anonymous

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"?

Well, before I do that, I want to tell you:

I have looked for again, and the booklet says:

USER'S GUIDE

COLOR MONITOR

Model No: PRT-541502

Yes, I read that, and that is what I searched for, but could not find that make and model.

go to start, control panel, Mouse, look through here for properties of mouse.

while in the control panel, look under Power options for wake on lan

go to start, right click on My Computer, select manage, select device manager, go to network adaptor, right click and choose properties, look for any power management tabs and advanced tabs for anything that will tell you to either use the Wake on lan capability or to disable.

go to start, help and support, type wake on lan into the search bar.

Hi!!

In "System summary" or elsewhere, I have read:

"Mouse is not (or has no option) "to save power" " .
