Wireless Mouse Problems on Laptop

[1FocusedHokie]

Anyone have a clue how I can get my Logitech wireless notebook mouse to work with my Dell Latitude D600 after coming back from stand-by. The mouse will work, but only if I plug-in the USB key while the laptop is completely powered-off and then turn it on. I've tried a few different things and this is the only thing that will work.

It's not that big of a deal, but I run to and from campus a lot and just like the load times from stand-by versus turning it on/off.

stand by mode sucks imo. just set the screen to turn off after so many minutes.

Yeah I mentioned going to/from campus. Having the laptop on is not an option as some points. One reasoning is battery life, the second is how outrageously hot it gets when turned on inside my bag. And how does stand-by mode suck? Everything works just fine except for this mouse problem.
