A friend just bought a new computer (An HP, unfortunately) and bought an HP f2105 21" LCD flat panel monitor to go with it. It's beautiful and wonderful and all that, but we've discovered that whenever we let it go to sleep, or we put it in sleep mode, the only way to get it working again is to completely restart the computer. If we try waking it by moving the mouse, striking the keyboard, or pressing the power button, it simply pauses for a bit then displays a message saying "Monitor going to Sleep"... and goes back to sleep. Any ideas? Busted monitor or user error on this one?

P.S. - Found nothing in a Google search, and HP's website was devoid of any information.
