Hibernate-function takes toooo much time to restart PC !!

[Philippe [Switzerland]]

Greetings!

Indeed, since a certain time now, this process takes much too long
and I even noticed that my HDD is ticking so slowly and therefore
needs so much time to reload all datas after such a Hibernation!

Of course, I already tried to disable (temporarily) this hibernate
function, rebooting and deleting afterwards the file "hiberfil.sys".
This does seem to improve slightly the speed at first...but after
a few new hibernations I'm back to square one...unfortunately!
(And I even performed a defragmentation of my harddisk).

So I'm now wondering if there's perhaps "a special Tweak" at
hand (or any other "trick"!) for repairing this kind of problem??
But otherwise my OS (XP Pro) works "just fine"!

Thank you very much in advance for your valid tips...hopefully.

Regards, Philippe.

You are probably hibernating while online,and the dns is timing out before
the DHCP and restart can complete. 'Static IP' for the NIC tcp/ip properties
might speed it up.
