When I use either hibernate or standby the process seems to be working- Goes
through " now hibernating", shuts down and then restarts in a few seconds.

Looking for ideas on how to fix or troubleshoot

Look at your BIOS settings for your modem and LAN. (Like "Wake on LAN")

RJ,

I had this problem when updating my 'Linksys LNE100TX(v4) Fast Ethernet
Adapter' to version 5 (v5). I needed to go to the Device Manager > expand
(+) Network Adapters > right-click your adapter & select 'Properties'. With
my Linksys adapter I then select the 'Advanced' tab. Any options containing
'wakeup' should be disabled.

On the 'Linksys LNE100TX(v5) Fast Ethernet Adapter' disable:
-Link Wakeup (Off/On)
-Link Wakeup (On/Off)
-Magic Packet Wakeup
-Pattern Match Wakeup

Hello.

Could you resolve your problem?

Because I have now the same...

After having trouble with some VPN Clients (Cisco and Nortel) which seemed
to prevent hibernate and standby to work (were hanging) now (after fuzzing
arround with those VPN clients, de-/installing, etc.) standby seems to work,
but after hibernating the notebook resumes immediately.

My BIOS doens't even have ACPI options like wakeup on LAN etc.
And I didn't find any Hardware in Device-Manager with such option set.
I also disabled "Restart after crash"...

Yet, ... it resumes after hibernaring.

Any hint appreciated!

Harald,

Does your mouse (Control Panel > Mice & other pointing devices, double-click
your mouse driver) have any 'Power Mgt' tabs allowing it to return from
standby/hibernation? The smallest mouse movement will activate. Though it
doesn't sound like that's your problem, it can't hurt to look.

The related message below may help. In short, call Microsoft and

Subject: SOLVED by hotfix KB909095 (Hibernation disappears in
XP if 1GB or more)

The reason: The problem is when you upgrade RAM to high size
(1Gb or 2Gb), XPSP2 fails to enlarge accordingly the
pagefile.sys file; attempts to hibernate fail, either before or
after, and cause Windows to temporarily remove Hibernate from
the Shut Down options - but without alterating your personal
Power Profiles. Restart restores Hibernation - thus your
original profiles.

The fix: the hotfix of KB909095, that will be added in XP-SP3,
and that meanwhile you will get for free by calling Microsoft in
your country (2.5MB). Details below.

if ur computer is hooked up to a local area network (lan), go to control
panel, supporft and maintenance, device manager from hardware. right click
on network adaptors, if you see two radio buttons, remove the check mark that
says let the computer turn on computer. That will solve this problem and many
more standby problems.
