Hotfix from MS - slove the sleep problem

[Bernard Liengme]

If I hit the Sleep (hibernate) key on my HP desktop, the PC does into
hibernation. Hitting the key again will not wake it up - I get a reboot.
Have lost work by mistakenly hitting Sleep when I wanted ESC! The key now
has a jar lid taped over it.

When the PC reboots there is a message blaming the problem on my NVIDEA
graphic card.

Has anyone used the MS hotfix for this problem ? Should I try it?

I don't have a problem with either Hibernate or Sleep. When I am done using
my computer, I power it down. When I want to use my computer, I power it
up. No problem.

apparently, if you just use your PC for solitaire and porn, this isn't a
problem, but many "grown-ups" like to use their pc's for real work, and like
to be able to carry their laptops into a meeting and open the lid, and have
their laptop spring back to life without waiting for a boot process,

.... yes, the hotfix fixed the "won't wake from sleep" problem for me.

Don't think that I follow your work habits playing solitare and looking at
porn. NOT. Maybe you need to contact your parole officer and check in.

.... so they can look at porn during the meeting......... ;-)

Man, Solitaire and Porn, those are my work habits.
