On Resume disable/enable USB Keyboard

Post by fraveu »

Hi guys.

I really hope this is a doable thing so here is the question:

I have a wireless keyboard for my media center. When the computer resumes from hibernate the keyboard doesn't work. I then have to unplug and plug the USB dongle of the keyboard.

I know EventGhost does catch System.Resume event. It alse catches 4 events when I unplug the USB dongle and 4 more when I reconnect it.

What I really trying to do is when the computer resumes from hibernation I, using EventGhost, disconnect and reconnect the USB dongle.

IS IT POSSIBLE? :?

Next time you hibernate, instead of unplugging the keyboard: open device manager, right click on your keyboard -> choose disable, then right click on it again -> choose enable.

If this brings your keyboard back to life then it's easy to script it.
