weird hibernation problem (again)... I don't know what to think
(1/1)
urlwolf:
My laptop just doesn't like hibernation.
And now, not even standby.
This is a mystery to me...
I have checked the box 'allow hibernation' in power options as suggested in a previous thread.
Now this checkbox is grayed out!
The only thing I have done is to remove admin privs. from the main user (the one who is currently logged in).
Worse, often when I send the computer to standby, it does everything 'as if' it worked, then when I pull it out of the suitcase it's burning hot and I see that it wasn't on standby... really dangerous. I see the message"
"Insufficient resources to complete the windows API"
I have > 4.2 Gb free on the OS partition, and 2gb of memory, so space should not be a problem. What other resources could windows be talking about here?
Worse yet, in power options > advanced, I have the box 'prompt for password...' unchecked,... yet it keeps asking me for a password after coming back from standby! I hate that.
Any idea how to fix this? The grayed out hibernate checkbox is weird!
tomos:
with 2GB of ram & for some reason the pagefile wasnt being accessed (I believe that was the problem)
I couldnt go into hibernation with FF + 40tabs open.
dunno did it say "not enough resources" or "not enough virtual resources to .... your API"
apologies about the vagueness of text :-[
but it's sorted now...-tomos (October 02, 2007, 04:05 AM)

a bit off topic but that wasnt sorted (just pretended to be for a while...)
error was (when going into hibernation):
"Insufficient system resources exist to complete the API"is related to xp sp2 struggling with too much memory (odd reaction though!)
solution is ms hotfix, see page
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909095
or
if that doesnt work the more recent comments here may help:

funny I knew I had quoted
"Insufficient resources to complete the windows API" *
but couldnt find it when I searched - maybe because it was in a table?
Anyways hopefully that'll sort out your problem! or at least the hibernation one..
* EDIT: re search - I searched for all words & it is slightly different wording
urlwolf:
well, getting worse.
There's no hibernation tab in power options anymore!
I'm searching for solutions.
I think I installed this hotfix:
for a discussion see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909095
(the hotfix has a somewhat unhelpful title but refers to this very problem for people with 2Gb of memory); I'm installing it again and rebooting just in case.
tomos:
let us know how you got on
dont know did you see second link in my post above -
there may be something of help in comments there
eg:
123. Vorapoap - January 15, 2006
I used the Security Task Manager to quarantine many services especially many of Intel PROSet/Wireless services. I found that I can disable following services and still get the wireless to work using Windows Wireless Zero Configure (not the strange Intel App)
mEoU.msi
mCore
igfxTray Module
I also disabled all RealTek Audio utility services..
well.. I can now begin to hibernate for at least 3 times now continuously..
If this can really solve the problem, I suggest everyone who already apply the hotfix and didn’t get the problem solved to start looking at your services and disable all unnecessary memory hungers.
I will continue to report if this is one of the solution..
