Hibernation not working even with SP3

[Guest Edward]

When trying to hibernate, about 50% of the time I get the classic error

"Insufficient resources to complete the API" after upgrading from 2GB to 4GB

of RAM.

 

The whole 4GB isn't even accessible (only 3.25GB) and I thought this issue

was fixed long ago by hotfixes 330909 (included in SP2) and 909095 (included

in SP3).

 

The comments on 909095 suggest that Microsoft can't be bothered to fix the

problem properly -

 

"Note It is still possible to experience a hibernation problem after you

install this fix if the memory becomes highly fragmented. The speed at which

this problem manifests is dependent on the software that you run and your

particular usage model. "

 

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem with 4GB (3.25GB) of RAM in XP?

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for

Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and
