I'll bet it was this checkbox:</p> <p><img src='http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/6268/allowthisdevicetowakeph9.png' /></p> <p>The question is, how do these things get checked? Sometimes it seems as if settings change when we are not looking. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/hibernate-problem#post-24318 Wed, 14 May 2008 15:24:59 +0000 glarsen 24318@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for your help. I think that the problem was a power management tab in the Network Adapters section of the Device Manager was checked and it told the computer to constantly check for updates and other things. After un-checking that tab, hibernate and standby seem to be working fine. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/hibernate-problem#post-24068 Mon, 12 May 2008 18:03:33 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 24068@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>this might help: <a href='http://www.vistashutdowntimer.toflo.de/eng/VistaShutdownTimer_Info.html#History'>http://www.vistashutdowntimer.toflo.de/eng/VistaShutdownTimer_Info.html#History</a></p> <p>got it from here: <a href='http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/a-handy-shutdownrestart-timer-for-vista?replies=10'>http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/a-handy-shutdownrestart-timer-for-vista?replies=10</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/hibernate-problem#post-24055 Mon, 12 May 2008 17:33:59 +0000 ScottW 24055@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Gregg, it's not likely that applications with scheduled events will cause a resume but that was a good thing to check. The next place you should look is in the BIOS/Setup menus. Look for a section on Power options, or Wakeup. There are a number of devices that can be set to cause a power-on or wakeup event -- keyboard, mouse, network, modem (RI), USB, etc. If you find such a section in there, try disabling these events and see if it fixes hibernation.</p> <p>Another technique for debugging standby and hibernation problems is to remove every external device that you can. If you know how to navigate through windows by keyboard, disconnect the mouse as well. You only need to boot up to Windows, then perform the standby or hibernate. If it works and the system remains in hibernation overnight, then one of those external devices is probably responsible. Put them back one at a time until you find which one is the culprit. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/hibernate-problem#post-24044 Mon, 12 May 2008 16:49:18 +0000 glarsen 24044@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>When I put my computer into Hibernate, it will stay off till a certain time (which varies depending upon the day, but is usually around 8:00-10:00pm), and then all of the sudden, it will turn itself back on. </p> <p>Also, sometimes if I need to put it into Hibernate overnight (I try to limit my use of Hibernate - a few times a week. And rarely will I use Hibernate overnight - I try to completely shut it down each night. ), it will come on during the middle of the night.</p> <p>I have looked through various software programs, including Windows, to see if I could find anything that may have a time or schedule (ex: Windows Scheduler, ZoneAlarm, Webroot, etc) to run a program. But I have not been able to find anything. Do you have any suggestions as to what may be causing this and how to fix it?</p> <p>Also, on a related note, when I try to use Standby, the computer will shut off for approximately 1 second and then come immediately back on. So basically, Standby does not work.</p> <p>Thank you for your time and help with this problem</p> <p>Gregg </p>
