Sometimes when I try to hibernate my new Toshiba P35 laptop I get the
following error message:

"Windows System Error - Insufficient System Resources exist to complete the
API"

I recently installed a 1 gig ram chip into it, so it now has 1.5 gig but I
dont see how that should affect hibernation...

Any ideas whats wrong here?

Thanks!
 
Did you install the correct spec DDR PC2700 RAM module?

Your Hibernation folder may need to be emptied and refreshed.

Open your Control Panel and select Power Options >
Hibernate and uncheck the box next to "Enable Hibernation"
and click "apply".

Next, perform a Disk Cleanup:
Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup

Afterward, reboot your computer. Go back and enable Hibernation
and reboot once again and you'll have a new Hibernation File.

Bob, thanks, I went to that url and downloaded the link labeled "Download the
330909 package now." and went to run the update and got the following error
message:

"Q330909 Setup Error – Setup has detected that the Service Pack version of
the system installed is newer than the update you are applying to it. You
can only install this update on a computer with no Service Packs installed."

Any ideas on how to work around this?

Thanks!

Apparently you have already installed it via the Service Pack2 or the
Update for Service Pack 1

If you are still experiencing problems then it boils down to this
explanation:

"Note It is still possible to experience a hibernation problem after you
install this fix if the memory becomes highly fragmented. The speed at
which this problem manifests is dependent on the software that you run
and your particular usage model."

Sorry
 
Yup, there is no fix for this. I have spent time with Microsoft on it
and they don't have a fix. There are a few good suggestions here
(http://www.ntwizards.net/2004/10/13/hibernate) that supposedly help a
little, although I haven't tried it myself. This is a VERY annoying
problem and I'm extremely disappointed that Microsoft hasn't addressed
this issue head-on. Then again, it's not surprising...
 
If you have SP2 installed then there is no fix, because the fix ought to be
included within SP2. The Hotfix for this problem, see KB330909 (Hibernation
problem on computers with 1 GB of RAM), can't be installed on machines with
SP2 allready installed.

It's mentioned that fragmentation could be a cause, but even after
defragmentation the problem persists.

We're delivered to the mercy of Microsoft for this one, eventhough it's a
pretty common bug, according to multiple fora and discusion groups.
And it really s*cks!
