Hibernation Password Timeout Too Short
Aug 5, 2008
I have Vista set to sleep after 1 hour, and then hibernate on the 2nd hour. That works fine, and it comes of of sleep & hibernation just fine, as well.
I have Vista set to ask for a password when it comes out of hibernation.
However, upon coming out of hibernation, it displays the password screen for all of 10-20 seconds. If I don't put in my password in that amount of time, Vista goes back into hibernation mode. Very annoying.
What I would like is to be able to tell Vista to wait a longer than just a handful of seconds before dropping back into hibernation.

I have a home server running WinXP that goes to sleep and takes 3 or 4 seconds to wake up when accessed over the network. Vista never waits for it wake up. It times out almost immediately and even worse seems to "cache" the timeout for several minutes. So even though the server is up and ready, Vista still says it's not available. This only happens when using Vista. Is there any way to make Vista try a little harder and not be so quick to give up?

My laptop is running on Vista Business 32bit with Firefox 3.0.3 installed and connected to a Belkin wireless router. Whenever I try to open certain sites FF, 50-80% of it will get network timeout. Moreover, sites like Facebook will take ages to load and stuck at Connecting to static.ak.fbcdn.ne

My Box is an AMD 2400 + 1.50 GHz, 1.50 GB of RAM double boot on seperate Hard Drives Windows XP and Windows Vista Ultimate. All functions perfectly on XP, however ON VISTA all mail clients (Windows Mail, Outlook, Opera, Mozilla Seamonkey Mail and Thunderbird refuse to receive or send Mailand inform me connection to server timed out.
Thinking it might be my Norton Internet Security Vista, i uninstalled it and installed Avast! 4 instead or maybe the Windows Firewall which I stopped. Nothing seems to work, I have searched in Google and on this forum and Windows Vista Forums and can find no similar problem. I have now reinstalled Vista times on a clean boot with no success. Please note All browsers function fine and I can surf with all of them.

I've got everything up and running with my Vista x64 pc (finally!) and I wanted to put my pictures/videos/music on it. I plugged in my 1tb (WD MyBook Essential 2.0, powered separately from pc) external hdd and heard the "beep" or whatever that sound is that Windows makes when it acknowledges a USB device. However, when I tried to open up "Computer" it froze (just that window, not the whole pc) and I realized it was still registering the drive. I have to wait about 10 minutes before I can actually pull up the contents of the drive. Every time I plug it back in it does the same thing. This DOES NOT happen on any of the 3 or 4 XP machines I have plugged this into...it is immediately recognized and I can view the contents instantly. When it comes to transferring files, it is VERY slow (approx. 2mbps) and in some cases, it won't let me transfer the file because it says the file/folder is corrupt. But if I plug it into my XP machine, the file/folder is fine and I can view or open it no problem.
I tried using a SanDisk 4gb flash drive to make sure it wasn't just my drive. It recognized this no problem (Windows made the "beep") and I could view the contents instantly, but I when I try to transfer files, it starts out fast (approx. 30mbps) then slows down, freezes, and eventually "loses" the drive. It says it can no longer find the drive. When I go to unplug it, I notice the flash drive's light is off and when I unplug it, I hear the Windows "beep" acknowledging that it was unplugged. I've updated all drivers I can find and the BIOS to 1101 and nothing has fixed this problem. It's very annoying that there are no USB specific drivers for this board.

Had to do a rebuild on my pc, before rebuild, on power settings option I could set timeout for screen and put the computer to sleep. After the rebuild Put the computer to sleep is greyed out and will take no changes. PC is on a domain, I am an admin, yet it keeps saying it may be a group policy, but Dammit I'm an admin.

error message with incomplete email upload I am using Windows mail with Vista ultimate set up for an upgraded Yahoo! mail account which uses SMTP for outgoing messages. I can send up to a 20Meg attachment from the Yahoo! site. If I send a message having a 15Meg attachment, or smaller through Windows Mail it doesn't complete uploading. I use Verizon DSL.

I recently changed the resolution of my screen from 1024x768 to 1440x900 and the start menu is cut off a little, where the arrow is cut off As you can see, next to the lock the arrow is not there, it is cut off and when I change it to other resolutions it is the same thing.

I have a HP Pavilion TX1340 laptop running Vista Home Premium and in general it is working OK. However just recently I have found that short cuts such as ctrl/C and ctrl/V no longer work and just result in the letters "c" and "v" appearing in the text. Is this a Vista problem or a laptop problem and what is the solution?

I am using my IE 6 right now to post this as FF is giving me fits. Everytime I post, a message pops up telling me that my post is to short and I need to make it longer. Well, all my post and replies are usually long winded so I don't think the message is well deserved. Quote: The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 3 characters. To my knowledge, I have not set anything new on my options, it did installed an update for NoScript but I doubt this will be a problem since I can post or reply on the other boards I visit.

Trying to get Drives / Folders and Sub-Folders on the right as existed in XP. Also tried to get a shortcut from the Desk top to open to windows displayed in this way. Failed! Shortcut opens to display Windows as I want but anchors itself to document; not Computer or the C drive. If I click on Computer it lists the drives / partition but there is no right pane. Am I able to configure the way I want and if so how do I go about it?

While dual core and quad core processors are a great advance in processing power, many games in XP and Vista run better on a single core. Need for Speed Underground is one such game. In my search to find an easy way to set processor affinity, I found the easy method outlined below. This method is the best I've found and actually WORKS without having to make system-wide changes. Here's a tip I use for some games which have problems with dual core. It saves the trouble of [alt][tab] out of the game each time, and I find it easier than creating a batch file. You may have already seen this, if so, the short answer is written in red at the bottom of this post..... Affinity and priority can be permanently added to an application's shortcut so that you don't have to change it every time you run it. To begin, create a shortcut to the game on the desktop. Right click the shortcut and select properties. In the "shortcut" tab, find the line for "target". Copy this in front of the target: C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe /C START "Need for Speed Undercover" /high /affinity 1. Now, NFS Underground will automatically run in high priority on Core 0. Here's an example for the game Tombraider Legend which also balks at dual core processing.
The target line originally looks like this: "C:Program Files (x86)Tomb Raider - Legend rl.exe" So I change it to this: :WindowsSystem32cmd.exe /C START "Tomb Raider" /high /affinity 1 "C:Program Files (x86)Tomb Raider - Legend rl.exe" The affinity can be set to any CPU core by changing the number to the corresponding hex value.
1st core = 1
2nd core = 2
3rd core = 4
4th core = 8
5th core = 10 ( hexadecimal 16 )
6th core = 20 ( hexadecimal 32 )........

I've been having this kind of problem since I installed Vista. I like Vista very much, but it brings so much problems to me than XP. I often play Age of Empires III and in every 5 minutes it hangs for a short period of time. It hangs 2-3 times and the next thing that will happen is either it will show a black screen or hangs. Windows never responds if either of these happen, so I shut down the computer improperly.

I have been having a problem when I click on an icon on the desk top that takes me to a site on the internet. As soon as I select the icon, I get an error message with the sites address followed by "application not found". Verizon DSL is my service provider. Desk top short cuts that go to other application programs (i.e. Word etc.) work OK. Outlook works okay and I can still get to the web sites using Internet Explorer.
I recently downloaded Google Chrome but deleted it when it prevented me from downloading Adobe Flash. I tried to restore to a previous time, however, the restore operation failed.

I've never seen a discussion group like this one? I know threads break down and take a turn but I've never seen so many people in my kill file in such a short time. Hardly any help is offered here just a bunch of people saying this and that about each other, or defending Ubuntu in a windows group?

what Windows Mail is doing with my Contacts File(s). When I create a new e-mail via "Create Mail> To:" I get a short address list with several duplicates. When I go to Contacts via the "Contacts" icon in Windows Mail I get the Contacts File I thought was the one Win Mail was using but it has many more entries (a good thing) and does not have any duplicates. I want Win Mail to use this Contacts File and get rid of the "old/leftover/??" file it is using. The good Contacts File is stored in C:>Users>Ken>Contacts. I don't know where Win Mail is gettting the other file. At one time I had my wife and I both receiving mail to my account. I have since set her up with a separate account.

I have Vista Home Premium on an Acer Laptop and all was fine until I decided to change my user password. I had or have (who knows now at this stage) an Administrator,User and HDD password installed on my machine. I went into my setup and changed my user password from set to clear but left my other passwords at set. when I exited and saved changes and rebooted I could not get back in with any and all passwords. To make things worse I cannot boot from cd either. It goes to press <F2> go to setup , Enter Current Password: ? then Invalad password I have tried the F10, F12, Del, F5, F8 keys and nothing seems to get past that login screen. Does anyone have any inexpensive suggestions on how I can get into this computer, or how I can get to a command prompt. Can I un-solder the internal Battery and then re attach it.

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.

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.
