Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / May 2008Failure to Hibernate after XP3 install
This is a repeat of a query posted under a different title. Maybe here it will get more attention. And yes, I posted it in Tech Net. I downloaded and installed SP3 about a week ago, and have noticed only one peculiarity so far. My screen saver times in and functions, but even with nothing of mine that I know of running, I see no disk shutoff, no Standby, No Hibernate. Nothing different in my operating procedures.... before SP2 I could count on it hibernating. Anybody else seen this failure of Power Options?

I replied to someone recently about a problem like yours. With Windows Me, Hibernate worked but Stand By did not. After going to XP with SP 2 Stand By functioned but Hibernate did not. Upgrade to SP 3 made absolutely no difference. I decided to live with it.

I found in XP Home/SP2 that it was entirely reliable and repeatable. I never used it in the older systems. Immediately after installing SP3 last week, Hibernate did work, but not repeatably. Now it *never* works. Maybe somebody will agree that it needs fixing....somebody who can and will.

They didn't say it was SP2/SP3 related, but told me how to fix it. It's in two parts: 1. Delete the network driver in Device Manager, and reboot, at which time it will reinstall the driver. 2. There's a hidden place I hadn't seen before, buried in Power Options. I had to UNcheck where it allows network activity to prevent Power Options from going into Standby or Hibernate. Now it works right every time. Pass this along to anybody you hear of, who reports the same problem. Note that, until I installed SP3, it was working fine............... |
