Re: [XPPro] Resuming from hibernation hangs for a minute or two
Did you look at the Event Viewer? You can access this from Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer. Then browse the categories displayed in the left side pane (Application, Security, System, etc.) and look for lines with a yellow or red icon.
While the messages are rather cryptic at times, it will usually point to an application or service that tried to start but could not for some reason. That often causes a 30 second time out. If that service was required to start another service, that can cause additional timeouts. Once you know the offender, you can figure out what is happening. | |

| There's nothing of interest in the Event Viewer logs.
I did notice that the "hibernation hang" only occurs if the machine has been hibernating for a certain amount of time. So for example, if it's been 12 hours it will hang, but if it's been 5 minutes it won't.
That makes me think it's some program on my machine, possibly Norton Internet Security 2009 since that's the only program I've upgraded recently.
