Guest Jeff Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 I'm wondering what are the common causes for the failures of return from hibernation in XP SP2. I have a one year old notebook that runs XP MCE and I have it set up to hibernate when I close the lid. Despite hearing of people having problems with hibernation in XP, I have rarely had problems with the PC restoring itself from hibernation - till recently. As of a month or so, it has become not uncommon for the notebook to try to restore itself and after reading the file (progress meter goes to the end) asks me to delete the saved file and restart Windows. I would not complain except that this is a change for my system and I therefore wonder why the hibernation file is now getting corrupted. Could it be the C: partition is filling up? I have over 6 GB in my 18 GB C:\ partition. Could a recent Windows update have changed a OEM file that worked before? Could there be a new conflict with some other new or updated other program? I regularly use Ad-Aware, Spybot, anti-viral software, Zone Alarm, and defragmentation. Is there a way to know why the system is now having more trouble with hibernation that it used to? Thanks. Jeff
