A Windows Vista-based computer does not resume from sleep mode if you move or click a USB mouse as the computer is entering sleep mode
Consider the following scenario. You have a universal serial bus (USB) mouse connected to a Windows Vista-based computer. You move or click the mouse as the computer is entering sleep mode. Then, after the computer has entered sleep mode, you try to resume the computer by using the mouse or by pressing a key on the keyboard. In this scenario, the computer stops responding (hangs) at a black screen.
This issue occurs because some USB mouse devices do not work correctly with sleep mode in Windows Vista.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
