Hi. My Windows is starting up on mouse click. How can I turn off that option and where?? I thought that it's something about hibernate state but it's not.

Everything is same as in your picture except I don't have that option "When I press the sleep button on my copmuter".
There is dual boot on my computer, from yesterday. Both systems are WinXP (WinXP Professional sp2 Dark Edition 32-bit and WinXP Professional sp1 64-bit) becouse I want to learn about that 32-bit and 64-bit stuff. I asked people from my service to do that, they take care of my computer. I hope it's not a big problem or something like that...  At this moment I'm working with Dark Edition.. Do you think I need to call them becouse of this??

Yes, it is set to shut down, and I pressed power button. It seems normal, it turned off but when I click on mouse button it starts up again...

Right click My Computer and select Properties.
Go to Device manager, click the Mice and other pointing devices drop-down tab, then click Properties
Then select the Power Management tab, and untick Allow this device to wake the computer, or whatever it's called in XP, or if it's even there in XP
Hope this helps

If I understand this correctly, the original version on Windows XP 32 bit is the version with the mouse click problem? The 64 bit version is working properly and does not restart on a mouse click??
Did you perhaps have a new mouse/keyboard as well - I have heard of software that will do this. Also if you have a serial mouse perhaps?

OK. One by one  . Under device manager I found network adapter and I cheked power managment. "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is selected, and "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" is deselected.
