hey there,
The other day i used a programme called 'Tuneup 2008' and it told me that if i deleted a programme called 'hibernate' i would have 600mb free on my hard drive, so i thought, "well, i dont use hibernate so this is fine"

However, when i put my comp into standby it wont come out, it just freezes.

Im guessing this is because ive uninstalled the hardware that saves the specified data in order for your computer to come out from standby?

so, what should i do? any programmes i could download.

Thanks for the help again

What OS you using and do you have the disc?

If this is a desktop PC, set all power-saving to never ...

Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click Power Options ... set all to never

Check all the tabs and especially untick Hibernate.

Simply, it will stop you using standby mode, quite useless on a desktop PC ... IMHO.

Tune-up utilities are worthless, learn how to use your OS and all the "tools" are there.

You shut the thing down......

Those 'tuneup' programs are as useful as a pile of doggy doo
