[Reply or follow-up to this message] re: win2k hibernation Thursday, May 6, 2004 at 6:52 am Posted by Marc (5 messages posted) Dex, The machine is a desktop. But using hibernate is nice since all the system fans shut off and it is basically like having the machine powered down. Note - you can even cut the power to the machine and it will resume and boot quickly. Having to set the time interval to 5 minutes or less is a pain since if you stop working for a few minutes, the machine shuts off. If I use the monitor and hard drive options, the monitor only partially powers down and the system fans still keep running. So I would prefer hibernate. Just irks me that there seems to be no tool to diagnose this problem. I have not been able to find any messages in any of the log files or event viewer that points to what might be wrong.

I have the same problem already for about 2 weeks. But I ran no security updates in this time. It spimly stopped working! I've set a time of 15 minutes of idle time before hibernating, but never tried to change it to 5 before. Sorry, but I am also unable to tell you a solution for it.

If I uninstall this update, hibernate works fine. This has occurred both on my laptop and on a desktop machine. So it does not appear to be machine or bios dependant. You might let me know if you have this update installed. I think at this point I will wait for the next service pack and hope that this fixes it.

Yes, I have this update installed, and I already know about that it is buggy, as I already mentioned in my posts before. I dont want to uninstall it. I would appretiate a script or another solution to work around this bug. Do you know about any solution except uninstalling the update?

I believe that one of the udated files (of which there are many) has some sort of interaction with the timing needed to activate the hibernation (or standby as well). I have tried to see which processes are associated with the power management features to see if replacing one or more of the old files would fix this. But I have not been able to do this. I would need some sort of software guide to see if a 'dll' file or other system file would be responsible. If I make any progress, I'll let you know.

This problem is getting more and more annoying, and I wondered if anyone has heard of a possible "workaround" short of uninstalling the security patch? Thanks, Wayne [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: win2k hibernation Wednesday, July 7, 2004 at 12:55 pm Posted by Marc (5 messages posted) I have not heard of any fixes as of yet, but so far I have had 3 desktops and 1 laptop suffer from this problem. The only work around is to not install the security patches. This problem does not seem to exist in WinXP. [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: win2k hibernation Wednesday, July 14, 2004 at 4:13 pm Posted by Wayne B'Rells (2 messages posted) Good News! The latest set of Win2K "security" patches seems to have fixed the 'suspend' problem. I've set 'suspend' times of 10 minutes and 30 minutes, and both work correctly.
