My computer no longer hibernates.
It attempts to go into hibernation - 'prepering to hibernate' - but then goes back to the screen it was on before I attempted hibernation.
Hibernation is activeated.
I do not have any error message.
Also unlike most others I can put it in stanby with no problems.

What can I do?
 

Re: xp hibernation problem

Maybe you should try this:
START – RUN – type “msconfig”
Then select “STARTUP”
From here, one-by-one, check out which application may cause this problem ..

I went through all applications, disabled all and still the same problem: it goes into preparing hibernation screen and comes back after 1s as if nothing happened :cry:
 

Re: xp hibernation problem

Maybe one of the recent xp updates caused that problem ..
Save you docs, pics, photos and whatever you may need, format HD and re-install XP and all the rest from scratches ..

Re: xp hibernation problem

Some virus are really nasty and may not let you even install anti-virus program.

If you have any free machine, I suggest to hook your infected drive to it and run full virus scan.

Re: xp hibernation problem

you may try online virus scan with Bitdefender (or any trust scan engine)
