To whom it may concern,

I have a sony vaio, with XP and I have a problem with stanby and hibernate mode. I've got an error message that said you have a problem with your modem when I tried the stanby mode. First,I disabled the modem on the devicemanager and I tried the stanby mode again, and the error message has been changed for the com port doesn't work correctly, so I disabled the com port on device manager, I reboot the computer and surprise the stanby mode and hibernate does work correctly. I must have com port disabled and modem disabled and it's works correctly. But it's not a solution. I upgraded the bios for the lastest version, drivers and so on and always same problem.

Would someone know how to solve this problem ?

I would appreciated your comments

Thanks
Louis

There could be an array of issues here. You may want to chk for interrupt and DMA channel conflicts. Most of the time this is the source of many modem problems. Another issue could stem from hibernation settings. The modem may not allow for hiberation but the system is trying to hibernate. So a contention occurs. Also a far fetched issue may surround and open file lock perhaps on an address book or from terminal emulation or fax software that causes the problem.

Hi MrMiami,

Thank you for help, the problem is not the modem or any device, I think the problem is located between the bios and OS. So If you any suggestions,don't hesitate to write me.

Bye

I have a Vaio now for 8 months and love it. Got it loaded to the max and use it heavily. Next I am buying a LCD projector to go with it. Any recommendations? Thinking the Infocus LC130.
