View 9 RepliesI recently installed SP3 and IE8 along with all updates. All went well except now Hibernate and Standby often kill the system including the cursor. If I boot and try Hibernate or Standby it usually works, but if I run for a while and try them they hang the system. The problem did not exist before I installed SP3 and IE8.

The System Area has 21 GB of free space.Upon selection of Hibernate, the process starts but takes about 10 minute to complete. Then the computer restarts instead of powering off at the end of the hibernation process. It does say that it is resuming windows.If you select Turn Off instead of Shift+Click over the Standby button (i.e. Hibernate), the system will power off.

View 10 Replies View RelatedIn the last week or so, i've been unable to hibernate my computer.When i click the button to hibernate, the screen will go blue and say "Preparing to hibernate" as normal, but then it quickly flashes back to whatever i had before on the screen.
Strangely, i can still standby or shutdown the computer with no problem. And im not getting any error messages or anything about it.It just won't hibernate.So far, i've tried System restore to bring it back to an earlier date. But that didn't work.I tried restore it to another earlier date, and that failed (it wouldn't restore it. probably because there weren't any changes to be made. i don't know.)I also tried un-installing my virus software (McAfee) and then re-installing as i thought that may be the problem, but it didn't solve it.I also tried opening "Power Options" in the control panel. From there i unchecked "Enable hibernate" and restarted the computer. I then checked "Enable hibernate" and restarted again.
I know that this question has been asked but I could not find an answer that fixed the problem, so I thought I might try again. Whenever I try to hibernate my computer, the message, "Insufficient system resources to complete the API." comes up. Afterwards, anything concerning hibernation disappear and the hibernation button cannot be clicked. My system details are as follows: Dell Inspiron 9300 running Windows XP Media Center Edition. 1.73 ghz processor with 1.50 gb of ram. (I have heard that having over 1.0 gb of ram might cause this, but I could not find anything that could fix it.)

View 7 Replies View RelatedAfter 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?

View 11 Replies View RelatedHibernate 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.

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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter 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.
