I suspect they would run for cover. Winston001 is used to Hibernating, being down there in Invercargill (also known as Invertarctica). He is out early this year. The ice must have finally melted. The feasting and other activity sounds like a good lifestyle though. I might get to try part of it when I am down there at Xmas. |

| 199652 | 2003-12-12 03:04:00 | I wonder if there might be a setting in the BIOS which is wrong. All this power management relies on a complicated "cooperation" between the OS and the machine's hardware and the BIOS code. Sometimes they aren't very cooperative. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 199653 | 2003-12-12 04:23:00 | I bought a HP ze4520 in October. I was having the same problem with Hibernation, so after reading this topic I have gone to power options in control panel and turned hibernation off, which apparently saves 191mb? at the same time. | jcr1 (893) | ||
| 199654 | 2003-12-12 04:35:00 | For what it is worth and before the replies came in I emailed HP with the problem. Their answer was to uninstall Power Management and to update the bios. It appears that both GF and Graham Lees hit the problem on the head..well done guys. I have chosen not to persue hibernation but to use Standby mode as GF suggested rather than go thru the rigmarole of updating the bios with which I am not familiar. As a relative novice I don't wish to upset an otherwise working computer. ;-) | Smurf (506) | ||
| 199655 | 2003-12-12 04:36:00 | When I hibernate on my PC (hold shift and click standy when closing down), the PC saves everything in RAM to the hard drive, then turns off. The difference is that when I start up the procedure is faster and the programs are where I left them. I therefore understand hibernation as "being turned off, but remembering where you were". If you want to wake it quick, so it's not really "off", use Standby. J :D PS, there was a mention of this in the Dec/Jan PC World. Another PC World link is here (pcworld.co.nz) |

If the application(s) don't like being suspended to RAM and freeze, it won't wake up . Its the old case of, "if it works it's fine, if it doesn't then don't use it" Unfortunately many applications are not suited to being suspended . |
