The big problem is that the wireless keyboard+mouse will not reconnect after the computer turns itself back on. I have to manually restart the PC, connect the bluetooth keyboard again, then it recaptures the information. Under device manager and Human Interface Device tab I appear to have a ton of multiple instances.

2 - Bluetooth HID device
3 - HID-compliant consumer control device
14 - HID-compliant device
3 - USB HID

I'm not sure what all those would be for and the device manager details are lacking.

Are there any programs or advice about removing what I think are multiple listings?

Connected h/w:
Logitech Laser MX5000 keyboard and mouse combo
Media Center controller that came with the PC

THANKS!
Drew
I would suggest you keep it from going into hibernate and just set the power options to turn off the monitor and spin the hard drive down after x amount of inactivity. The reason it comes out of hibernate is probably due to a program running that is causing your system to think you are doing something and it comes out of hibernate.

There could and will be multiple entries in our device manager and you dont really need to start deleting these unless you know what they are. You should really only concern yourself when you see a red x or an exclamation mark on one of the devices.
