My laptop suspended and hibernated well. Then I installed a spice analysis program
that required a hardware key on the parallel port. Apparently that program figured
that you are never going to want to suspend or hibernante again, maybe because you
are perhaps doing a long analysis and don't want to shut down during that, so it
took away the ability to hibernate or to suspend. I wish they would say that they
were going to have that effect.
Other software decides you must not want to hibernate or suspend if you are installing
their software. So, beware.
So if it could hibernate, and now it can't, probably some program removed that ability.
Sometimes it is a networking program. You don't want to timeout and shutdown if
you are serving files.
Or it could be a corrupted file.
