Think Pad Won't Resumem From Hibernate
Mar 19, 2008
Thinkpad T41, XP Pro Powermanagement is set to hibernate when I close the lid - Works great Used to open the lid, press the little power button and it would resume from hibernate just great. Lately it won't resume from hibernate. When I press the pwoer button the disk shows no activity and it just sits with a black screen. Typing keys or moving the mouse has no impact.However, wacking the computer seems to wake it up and then everything proceeds as normal. I would rather not have to wack it.

Recently I installed a Linksys WMP54G wireless network adapter on my desktop (HP Pavilion a556x with Windows XP Home installed). My computer will not hibernate on its own. Settings in power options are correct (I think) and the hibernation is turned on. I looked in the properties settings on the wireless adapter and there is no power management tab.

Hibernate, what's the down side? Especially if I shut it down completely from time to time.

Whenever I hibernate my PC, it dumps memory to disk but then it restarts instead of powering down. But when I choose shutdown, it properly powers down.I have tried everything i know and searched a lot of web sites but i am still not able to solve this problem.Then I came across techsupportalert which recommended your web site. So I hope that you will be able to solve this problem.

I set my laptop, running XP, to "hibernate", which it does for the one time. When I reboot and, later, shutdown, the machine turns to "standby". Is there any way to savethe setting for hibernation constantly and not have it revert to "standby"? It's a nuisance having to set hibernate each time I want it to do this.

I'm using WinXP Home. I don't turn off my machines but hibernate them instead. There's one machine that won't hibernate. I get the message "The device driver for the 'PCI Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP' 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". I updated the driver. Still can't hibernate.

After reformatting the HD and reinstalling XP, I find that my Inspiron laptop doesn't have Stand By or Hibernate options. When I close the lid and re-open it it's nonresponsive on a black screen until I turn it off with the Power button. I thought HAL.DLL was missing -- I got that error message once -- but it's there in SYSTEM32 and the bootlog shows it installed as a driver. Is there another driver missing? (I can't decipher all those short file names.) Might it be the wrong HAL, a generic one supplied with the XP Re-Install CD? How do I find out?

I have Windows XP Pro and powertoys allows me to set auto-login for my administrator account. It's a single user system and it's convenient not to have to enter a password each time I fire up. If I hibernate, however, instead of shutdown then the auto-login doesn't work and I'm forced to the login window. Any way around this?

My Daughter has a dell inspiron 1200 running XP that is about 5 yrs old and had slowed to a crawl, so she bought a new one when she graduated from college. I reformated and reinstalled XP and all the drivers and added a gig of ram. Runs great now but now the standby or hibernate is no longer active and I can't figure out what to do.

Hibernate and Standby were working fine on the machine. But since about a week. Both the Standby and Hibernate feature are not working. The detailed explanation is given below. I have three account profiles all set to admin. The computer does go on standby or hibernate when on the welcome screen but only if no one is logged on. If I have logged on, and then i select standby or hibernate nothing happens. After this if i try to shut down the computer it kind of hangs halfway through the shutdown process. It seems that it is trying to hibernate and shutdown at the same time.
If I have not requested for a hibernate or standby, and then try to shutdown the computer. It shuts down properly. if I log-off to the welcome screen and no other account is logged on then also the hibernate and standby work fine. I have tried to run system restore, but when it boots up in the restore process, i get a message that no changes have been made try another restore point... i have tried many points but it does not work.... am totally confused. I have also reinstalled the patch on the Microsoft website for XP where a machine with more than 2Gb of ram needs to hibernate.

My Dell Mini 10V netbook, with Windows XP, SP3 won't standby or hibernate. It hangs at the "Preparing to Standby". I have to completely shut it off by holding the power switch. It reboots fine. It will shutdown without delay, but it doesn't save the desktop layout. I've tried the clean boot and it still doesn't standby. I'm doing the testing without the external monitor, keyboard, or mouse and it doesn't make any difference. It has all the original hardware. It would standby when I first got it and I have another Mini 10V that does standby and hibernate correctly.

Looking for work-around solution standby/hibernate failure in WinXP system after installation of PGP 6.x.
Problem is completely described in Microsoft KB
article Q-314118 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314118/en-us
I am presently using PGP 6.5.1 and want to keep it. I'm using it for the PGPdisk features with encrypted
volumes (directories). It works fine in WinXP with both existing PGD volumes that I have (from previous
systems) and it also works fine with newly created PGD volumes. The only problem is that it prevents WinXP from entering Standby modes when I attempt this power down feature in WinXP for my laptop.........

I've had this laptop for a couple of years now and I could make ithibernate or standby as I pleased. About 1-2 weeks ago it would nolonger do this. If I go into control panel then power options thereisn't even a hibernate tab anymore either. If I press the power button(or click on start then turn off computer) the box with standby isdimmer so that I can't click on it.

My laptop used to shut itself down after 15 minutes and go into hibernation. Now it doesn't.I went to the control panel under power schemes and hibernation is enabled after 30 minutes, but the system keeps powering itself up.

After a huge upgrade and fresh XP installation (up to SP2), my computer won't standby hibernate. The only parts that remained were the HDs, RAID card, and power supply. MOBO was upgraded to X38, GPU to GF8800GT, and CPU is now Dual Core. Prior to the upgrade, my PC could go into standby. Now it is "grayed out."I went to power management, hibernation tab is not there. I tried reinstalling MOBO drivers, same thing. My comp used to be able to do this in XP. Well, I read about it, and supposedly, dual core cannot go into standby (or at least winxp doesn't want to allow the user to do this with DualC). Is that true? Edit: I even tried the hotfix and disabling terminal services. No effect.I tried apmstat -v, and it said that this is an ACPI machine and that APM is not relevant.

I have windows XP installed, service pack 3, and fully updated. As is all my anti-virus software etc, etc.My PC had a DVD Rom drive and a CD RW drive. I have just installed a new LiteOn DVD writer, making 3 drives in total. Everything works absolutely perfect. I can copy DVD's on the fly from my DVD Rom, and every other aspect of my PC is fine. All three drives work great. Except, now, my PC won't hibernate! It use to be able to robustly carry out this function with no issues. But as soon as I installed the DVD Writer, it will no longer work. I can make the PC hibernate manually by going to the computer 'turn off' option, and click 'hibernate' but it won't automatically do it after a set time. I have played about with the hibernation settings for ages but it makes no difference. How can I make my PC hibernate automatically like it use to?

The "sleep" button on my computer keyboard won't effect the hibernate function on my Windows XP Home Edition computer. It worked well until several months ago and then, all of a sudden, it stopped functioning. I can get it to hibernate by using Start-Turn Off Computer-Stand-By, but the "Sleep Button" does not work. I did some Internet research and one site indicated that it might be a driver problem.

When I hibernate my laptop, it goes into hibernation and the in a couple of minutes, comes back out of it on it's own.I recently installed System Mechanic and, at its suggestion, updated to Win SP 3. Thinking SP 3 updates might have caused the problem I uninstalled it - no difference. Does anyone know a solution to this problem and/or what causes it? Until recently it all worked as it's supposed to.

Greetings. This subject has been well discussed but I haven't seen this particular problem. Hibernate has been working fine on my fairly state of the art PC (WinXP up-to-date, nothing changed, added or removed recently) for ages. Suddenly, on wakeup, it gets to desktop, icons and taskbar and bye bye, shuts down. Just once it has hung before the icons and taskbar phase.
