    Win XP hibernate mode problem

    Locked

    by mrazman9 ·

    Hi there,

    I’ve got a little problem with my notebook. Resuming windows after hibernate takes almost 5 minutes. I’ve got Windows XP installed on it with SP2 and my here’s my HW configuration: AMD Athlon64 X2 – TK55, 2048MB RAM, 160GB SATA HDD.
    I find it pretty weird. Can you help me please?

      i would try disabling hibernation and then reenabling it. you may have a corrupt hibernation file.

      go into start – settings – control panel – power options

      go to the hibernate tab, untick enable hibernation click apply and ok.

      go to c: and delete hiberfil.sys

      restart your pc

      now reverse the process and reenable hibernation and give that a go

        Defrag in between.

        After you’ve deleted the hiberfil.sys, defrag before re-enabling hibernation.

        well maybe I found the problem. I don’t have hiberfil.sys installed anywhere in my computer.

          It will be a hidden file on the HDD, not installed…..

          look in the root folder of c:\

          its there, and yes its hidden so you need to change your folder options to show hidden files 🙂

          Ok I found it.

          And now… If I untick enable hibernation the hiberfil.sys disapears automatically. Shouldn’t I first delete it and then untick enable hibernation?

          if you try and delete it it says its in use.. didnt realise it disappeared when you untick hibernation.

          in that case i would untick it so it disappears.

          reboot your pc.

          retick the hibernate option.

          put your pc into hibernation and see if its still slow

          When you’ve unchecked the ‘Enable Hibernation’ box (and hiberfil.sys disappears), you should run a complete defrag before you reboot.

          In fact, to be even more thorough, I suggest that you remove your pagefile too (right click ‘My Computer’ > Properties > Advanced Tab > Performance Settings button > Advanced Tab > Virtual Memory ‘Change’ button > select ‘No Paging File’ > OK > OK.

          NOW run your defrag program.

          THEN shutdown (NOT restart!)

          When you next boot, it’ll take a bit longer ’cause you’ve not got a pagefile now, but don’t panic. When you’ve reached the Desktop just follow the instructions again and turn ON the Pagefile, then the Hibernation file.

          If you haven’t self-combusted by this time, enter Hibernation mode again and see how long it takes to come back out of it.

          Post back.

          Good luck! 🙂

          You seems to know what you are talking about. I had numerous files saved on desktop, after resuming from hibernation my desktop was gone, wallpaper, files shortcuts etc. Hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys are still on my HD, how can I reload old desktop settings. deleting these files wont help?

          Have you tried this?

          In reply to Hibernation issues

          Right-click the desktop > Arrange Icons By > Show Desktop Items.

          If it is checked, uncheck it, then repeat the procedure and check it again.

          If that fails, shut down (not hibernate) then reboot.

          If that fails, try a recent System restor point.

          If that fails, please post back, and mention which OS and version you are using.
