Sleep mode killing periphials
I am new to Win7 and have not come across this before.
Whenever sleep mode is activated I lose most (but not all) of the use of the buttons on the CH products joystick, throttle, rudder pedals, TIR and some keystroke functions on the keyboard. This requires a restart to get them all working again. Is there a setting somewhere in Win7 that would be causing this or is it likely to be a hardware malfunction somewhere? It happens on both flight sims (Rise of Flight and IL2 Cliffs of Dover) so I don't expect it is game related. Also I have an Antec case that comes with 4 fans that don't shut down in sleep mode. The obvious solution I guess is not to use sleep mode and just shut the computer down if it is not going to be used again for a while. It used to be that it was better to leave a computer running than starting it up more than once a day. Does this still hold true now with A SSD? http://whrl.pl/RcJHlo herring | anchor Reply to this | Edit my post

go to the Device Manager and then to the USB Root Hub/ Properties and turn off the sleep functions there too. It will be labeled "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"

Unfortunately it did not work. I think I will stop worrying about it and just not have it go to sleep mode at all. Sleep mode does not turn the 4 case fans off anyway, so it is only a partial sleep mode.
It is basically a computer for RoF and CoD and normally only gets flashed up for a daily session of a couple of hours or more. A lap top is used for all other requirements.

sorry, I re-read your post and you mentioned (which I missed) ~ lost "some keyboard functions"... which functions?
the USB setting has worked for many others at many other forums
