It's started doing this recently. When on battery power, despite setting Energy Saver to make it sleep after 1 minute if not used, it just sits there awake, until it shuts itself down due to lack of power. Any clues? I'm running 10.3.3 with all latest fixes etc. Help appreciated.

Open a Terminal and run a "top" command to see if something is running in the background to keep it awake. That's all I can think of.

Looks like MS is to blame? I deleted the powermanager plist file, but when I unplug the Wheel Mouse Optical it goes to sleep. Didn't have the MS driver installed so I'm installing that to see what happens next.
