Message: [QUOTE="PizzaFoundry, post: 11621943"] Searching high and low, I've not found a ref on this one, so here goes: On TWO different machines at home here, we have experienced the problem where an XP machine is powered up and comes up out of hibernation, and then that machine, if left completely untouched, will hibernate back to sleep within 5 minutes. This is with the setting for hibernate set to "Never". We use hibernate solely for the powerdown function which works quite well. It seems that, if you touch one key, or move the mouse, then some counter gets reset to "never" and it will run forever. But, if we power up, then go upstairs to RDP to the thing from a laptop, that apparently doesn't count, as the machine will invariably hibernate off at some point all by itself, regardless if you're working on it or not. It doesn't seem to do it if you're in the MIDDLE of typing something over the rdp link, but if you turn away, then come back in a couple of minutes, it's gone and we have to go power it back up. Again, it appears that the only way to prevent this is to physically touch either the keyboard or the mouse at the machine in question. And, this has happened on 2 different machines now, although it appears to now only affect one of our machines here (other machines have changed hardware since then). ??? [/QUOTE]
