2-hour hibernate failure

[Unknown]

Probably only one? Norton Idle Time Scan. Guessed it was Norton from the
beginning.
Great you found it.

This last set of comments comes at a funny time, namely, I believe
we have just solved the problem. First on my clone, and now on my
Master drive, I got the system to hibernate at two hours by making
what I believe are *only* two changes.

First, Network Connections.....>>Power Options....
Do *not* allow it to turnoff device.........

Second, in Norton Anti-Virus, set it for 'Silent Mode'
(whatever that means) and set its 'Idle Time Scan' for the
maximum it allows, namely six hours.

It has hibernated at 2 hours twice so far, and I intend to give it
more opportunities........

But that Norton 'feature' to me is something I'm going to complain
to them about. If I don't want it to scan except when I want it to,
I should have that privilege! They really do too many things that
way...you know, the 'Big Brother knows best' syndrome.

You give up too easily.

Yes, the web is a network and all your network traffic flows through
your network adapter, without it you will not be able to get on the web.

So what happens if you keep all your Norton stuff turned off and enable
the adapter?

Also make sure that power saving is not enabled on the adapter. Right
click on the network adapter and select "Properties" then click on the
"Configure" button for the adapter then click on the "Power Management"
tab and make sure that the "Allow the computer to turn off this device
to save power" is *not* selected.

In retrospect on this project, John, now that it's just about finished,
I hope we all learned something from it, including people who have
been watching silently.

I've thought about your early comments that there are a few dozen
'services' that are active but will never be used, and wondered if
it would speed things up to disable them. I could start with one
of the lists you created, but I'm more inclined to say we now have
it where it ain't broke, so I shouldn't fix it.

And just once more: Thank you for all your efforts.

You're welcome, Bill.
