Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / August 2007Vista won't hibernate; Media Player the cause?
I have a new Acer Aspire 3100 notebook running Vista Home Basic. Since buying it two weeks ago, it locked up, ie, failed, every time I tried to Hibernate or Sleep it. After a bunch of hit-or-miss time with the Task Manager, it appears that Windows Media Player sometimes loads itself up as a Process (not as an application), and in that state, the PC locked up everytime I tried to Hibernate it. If I manually end the Process of Windows Media Player in Task Manager, it seems to work every time. 1 - Has anyone else encountered this? 1.a. - Is Media Player a likely suspect? 2 - How can one keep Media Player from loading ITSELF as a process? Thanks. JL play around with the settings try to find something that requires media player to run in the background i have the same computer except that mine aspire 5100 vista home premium, and haven't that problem, althought all the features like something to keep media or any other program are always set to run when i run them. hope this helps. >I have a new Acer Aspire 3100 notebook running Vista Home Basic.

Based on the way that Sync Center, Mobile Device Center, and Media Player (all in Vista Home Basic) behave when I connect my Treo, I suspect that is these programs that are bringing up Media Player in the background. Media Player seems to want to sync music and similar files REEEEEAL bad, and so it may be coming up in the background as a Process every time I connect the Treo. Anyone know how the keep Media Player in its place and out of memory entirely? I have no interest in sync'ing media files between the Treo and the PC. Thanks.
