Hibernation Hangs; Strange Event In Log
Jun 10, 2008
I always use hibernation, never had a problem with it up until today. When I tried to start the computer, the "Windows is resuming" screen just sits there. indefinitely and the green progress bar at the bottom is extremely slow. I tried deleting the hiberfil.sys file and re-enabled hibernation, but the same problem keeps occurring. So I started browsing the event logs and I found that every time I hibernated the system today I got an: The previous system shutdown <at time/date> was unexpected error. Which is strange as it was not unexpected for me, I initiated it. What could be causing this?

I gamble on sports, yes, bad like that, and have encountered a bug. I copy data from a place called statfox.com to look into the future or past if you will. Not as good as a psychic though!
Specifically I copy stats from the NBA and baseball.
Here is my bug. I go to the site, http://www.statfox.com/
Then I scroll over to the NBA drop down menu. Then I click team statistics.
Then I click a team, say Boston. I cut and paste normally, the game data. The second box you see with last 20 games.
Like this.

On my old machine which runs XP and has Excel 2003 it works fine.
With Vista, it messes up the dates. I have tried everything. Different browsers, compared settings in Excel, even tried office.org or free office or whatever it is called.
Still won't work. It copies half the dates correctly, and some dates it copies like text or worse. I am not really sure, I cannot type data in to fix the error.
I have a new Gateway with Vista. I am waiting for them to mail me Windows 7.
It is so easy to cut and paste on my other PC, and I have loked in every forum I can find for three days and found nothing that fixes this bug with Vista.
So it is not the Browser, I tried three including IE 8, Opera and Google. It is not Excel, or Star Office as both mess up, it is something with Vista.
I made myself a super admin BTW, on my computer, figured that one out. So I can adjust everything.
I have files dating back ten years that are all gving me date issues. Some work, some do not. I need a fix!
Do not ask for sports picks.
I trade sports like stocks, that is how I use the data.

A lot of times, I just can NOT right-click, or do many other things, etc...
I think it's Memory/resource BUG, am I right?

Just discovered a bizarre application switcher from microsoft, somewhat similar to Apple's Expose.
Here's the screenshot ...
The thing came up when I clicked the mouse wheel. The mouse is Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000. Microsoft software that came with the mouse is installed. Checked the mouse buttons config, and it says that clicking the wheel brings up the Flip 3D.
But, since I use the basic vista theme with Aero disabled (like it more this way), there is no Flip 3D on my machine. When I enable the Aero, clicking the mouse wheel brings up Flip 3D.
Anyone got any idea what is this thing?
Actually i quite like it, because it is fast as hell, way faster and more useful than other third party "expose on windows" third party solutions I tried some time before.
I was wondering how to bring up this thing from my keyboard, but win+tab does nothing. As for now, only clicking the mouse wheel works.

Contrary to others I love Vista!Meanwhile I have 3 machines running under Vista (my desktop, my TabletPC and my wife's desktop). What bothers me most at present:
For app. 2 weeks - out if a sudden - on my desktop (and only there) I'm having an unseen phenomenon with the screen layout:
Below the normal parts of the WinMail-window (columns for the folders[left side] and the headers preview and the messages preview [right,upper and lower half]) appears a sub-window with a scrollbar which stretches across the whole WinMail window. This sub-windows always is totally empty (no contents at all).
As this description might be unclear, pls see:
http://www.hera.hs-heilbronn.de/Rt/WinMailProbs.jpg
I cab drag this sub-window bigger and smaller. But there always remain a minimal height determined by the "Up" and "Down" scroll-button (arrows).
I checked literally *everything* to get rid of this totally useless(empty) sub-window. To no avail An I already asked in the German Vista NGs. To no avail either {siiiigh}

following on from the bug i had Ive scanned the drive with the maxtor/seagate tools and no problems. It seems to be something to do with the harddrive as if is start a checkdisk it almost instantly causes problems, you can move the mouse but nothign responds. If you try and go into ctrl-alt-delete you get a message saying a 'logon process has failed to create the security options dialog'.

Up until a few days ago, my mouse(s)(both my notebook pad and my wireless Mouse) worked "normally".That is,I could highlight text by holding the control key down;pressing the left button and then could copy/paste that elsewhere.That still happens on my Windows mail items.However,whenever I now go to a"dialog box' in a web site...and try to do the same thing,highlight the text and then copy/paste it.I get a"hand" figure that tries to move the text around, but I cannot find a way to highlight and copy anymore.No doubt some setting has changed (probably by me!!).I went to control panel and looked at the various mouse settings, but none of them seem to help.I tried to do three different System Restores and every time I do I get a message that says that the restore didn't work due to an "unspecified error"?

my friend has an alienware comp and it keeps crashing he is running the asus p5 and unfortunatly his warranty has expired it's also running xp it will crash from boot or some times after 10min other times it's after a few hours. he is running a 7800gtx 256mb gpu also, if anyone knows of any fauts this has after 2 years of use would be appreciated i am recommending a new card for him too 9800gt or there abouts something usefull but not overly pricey as he doesn't require it for things like crysis and stuff
i'm looking for things to look for to help him resolve it as the alienware call out charge for him is 600quid i told him to just get a new comp but he would like to keep it for a while i'm going to fit new ram that i have lying around as i think it may be a hardware fault as there is a strange noise coming from his computer possibly making it an overheating issue but when i googled his comp i got a ton of hits on the same fault with the same comp so it's not a one off case and nowhere was there a solution so i figured i'd put to the people.

I've just got my new Alienware m17 and I can't find a way to disable the "Lid Open" event. I've disabled the lid from making the system go into stand-by, but the moment I open the lid, it wakes up again. I've tried using : Code: powercfg -devicedisablewake "ACPI Lid"
But all I get is "You do not have permission to enable or disable device wake", and yes... I am logged in as an Administrator.
All lid related articles on this site (and others) seem only to refer to problems with Closing the lid rather than Opening it. I know it's a minor issue, but I don't want to wake up my system until I press the power button. I've even checked the BIOS settings but there isn't even a Power section.

I have a new HP Pavilion dv-4 laptop with Vista Home Premium 64 bit. When I try to
restart from hibernating, I receive a fatal error message the computer can't come out
of hibernation. I tried to disable hibernation and delete the hiberfil.sys file through the Disk Cleanup application. After it was run, the Hibernate option disappeared from
the shutdown menu but hyberfil.sys was not deleted. I deleted hiberfil.sys from
the command prompt and then ran powercfg -h on which recreated hiberfil.sys and restored Hibernate to the shut-down menu - but it still fails when I try to come out of hibernation. I have RollBack RX installed on the system and I wonder if this is causing the problem.

i have the notebook since a month and everything works fine. however, i always have that strange sound playing in vista. it happens every 5-10mins, i dont know what it it. its not caused by the hardware, but its played by vista, so to make it clear it is a soundfile. i have no clue, which software or whatever causes it. anyone, who has an idea? and no, it was already there with the original setup, it is not because of any software i installed additionally. i would really be happy, if someone knows how to stop that.

im having a problem with one of my usb ports. when using none of the ports at all, vista will randomly "find" a usb device and tell me that it can perform faster. even though there is nothing plugged in (spooky) so after much confusion, i tried to plug my external hard drive in to all my ports (1tb buffallo if your woundering) and when i plugged it into the last one, my computer got a blue screen, with writing on it ( not the blue screen of death tg) saying that it has a problem with one of the usb drivers, and that it needs to shut down to save the computer it only does this when i use this port though. otherwise i just get the "this device can perform faster" thing popping up ever 10 mins or so

cannot log on to Windows Live messenger at all. We have done disk cleanup, deleted cookies and temp and temp internet files. I can log on to her WLM account from my machine, but all she gets is "Cannot sign you on at this time" messages. So, I though I'd try TeamViewer. Works here on my LAN, works from here to my daughter's machine 150 miles away. When she clicks on the customer exe, she gets a window up saying "No connection to the Internet" and the ID box shows the local IP and no password. I'm stumped as to what might be causing this. She can surf the internet, download files, send emails, etc etc but NOT log onto WLM or use TeamViewer.

I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 with SP1 and I'm having an issue with file sharing. If I try to copy files from an XP machine to the Vista machine, the System log on the Vista PC fills up with 2017 (The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the server reached the configured limit for nonpaged pool allocations) and 2021 and I get an error on the XP machine about there not being enough memory to fullfill the request. I have tried a couple of registry entries, like disabling SMB2 and setting MaxMpxCt to 255; neither of which have resolved the issue. I'm still able to browse the network from the Vista machine, so it looks like it's only incoming connections into the Vista machine that are the problem.

Windows could not start the the Windows Event Log service on local Computer. Error 4201: The instance name passed was not recognized as valid by a WMI Data Provider. (The service is set to Automatic, tho)

Every three or four days I review my Event Log. The log for two days ago on my laptop (Vista Home Premium SP1) system has approximately 75,000 entries that are identical, all logged over a four-second period. The entry reads:
(Event 51)
An error was detected on device DeviceHarddisk2DR2 during a paging
operation.
According to MS, if this occurs on a primary drive (like "C" I'm guessing - they don't say, actually) the drive could be failing. They go on to say "Otherwise, no user action is required". The error cites "harddisk2" so unless MS has decided that drive numerations start a "2", I'm guessing this is something having to do with an external drive; possibly one of my USB drives. What is strange is that I haven't plugged in an any drives for five days or so.
Should I just mark this down as some sort of Vista glitch, as I am tempted to do? Or, is this just one more thing to worry about? I do know what paging operations are, and why they sometimes fail, but this particular set of entries puzzles me.

I've been struggling with this for a couple of days now without any success, I noticed the the event viewer would not start, it reported that "Event Service is unavailable. Verify that the service is running" Well, the service was not running and my attempts to start Windows Event log result in an "Error 5: Access is denied"
So to Google I go. I tried several things that I found there, taking ownership of files, resetting the whole system to default permissions by using a Microsoft
utility. That reset everything except one folder that it reported as an error. That was the EtRTeventLog folder, this seems to locked out completely. I renamed the folder using Unlocker and Windows recreated a new folder but I still have the same problem.

Was having a strange network problem after computer woke from hibernation; it did not happen before Service Pack 1 and never happened with XP. The problem was the internet connection would time out, partially load pages, and generally stumble & fail after resuming from sleep or hibernation. I went into Task Manager and grabbed this screenshot of the network throughput:
The green is throughput, it goes from 100% to 0%, it is apparent the computer was turning the connection "on" and "off" at regular intervals.
My network card is an Intel Pro 100/1000 built into my Abit IC7-G motherboard.
The problem was apparently the sleep mode setting on the card itself; there were no settings available for sleep mode, etc on the card using the default Vista drivers, but after installing the updated/specific drivers from Abit I was able to go into the Device Manager and there was another properties page (with Intel logo) that allowed me to disable sleep mode for the network card. That seems to have fixed it, I have not had the problem again in over a week.

On my previous Vista HP computer, after not using the bubbles screensaver, I was able to use the hibernate function. On this new computer I cannot get hibernate to to work. I set it for no screen saver and there are no different programs running, so why am I not able to get hibernate to work? I have the power features set for hibernate but when I click the Sleep it only goes to sleep for a minute or so and then the blue light is back on.

Ever since getting the Hibernation feature functioning on my machine about a month ago I've noticed a very peculiar problem with the machine waking up on its own, usually when I'm not around, and I need to know how to stop it. It usually happens after the PC has been powered down for several hours. Today I had put it into Hibernation and then went out, and several hours later when I got home the thing was on, apparently having turned on by itself.

Windows Vista home premium with SP2 and later fixes installed. No apparent malware detected by Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebyte, spybot. Hibernation is turned on. Checked all devices to ensure none have the "wake on" feature activated. When I select hibernate, the screen goes black for a few seconds then the logon menu is presented. Hibernation never occurs.
