"The device driver for the 'HID-compliant consumer control device' is preventing the machine from entering hibernation. Please close all applications and try again. If the problem persists, you may need to update this driver."
So everytime I try to hibernate or go on standby I get this shit. It works when I take out everything connected to the usb ports (basically my mouse). I'm on a laptop and I think I got this after some gay windows security update. PLOX HALP!
I've been googling for the past few days, nothing has fixed it.

Dhurrrr, you answered your own question.
Your "HID-compliant consumer control device", or your "mouse", does not have the latest drivers. Download the latest Mouseware or whatever for your mouse.

Actually, there are some interesting technical issues regarding the Microsoft DDK API and the HID stack, which has to do with your "HID-compliant consumer control device" driver error.
The original design was for all HID-type devices to totally ignore ACPI power states. This would have had the effect of making the whole ACPI infrastructure a lot simpler. It is even said Windows XP could have come out two months earlier if it were not for this one single issue. However, Dan Rousouf, a forward-thinking Microsoft employee at the time, had a great idea. What if HID devices could turn on and off the computer. Therefore, the kernel could not support ignoring such devices, and that leads us to the occasional problems that pop up today. An entire team consisting of 500 programmers had to work day and night for over two months straight in order to make the necessary modifications to the Windows source code and DDK.
When asked how he came up with the idea, Dan Rousouf said "Opera sucks sure there's an ebuild for opera but it just get dropped to /opt, it's statically linked, and it's CLOSED SOURCE, which means that it is a BINARY package."
