hello
here's my problem:
on a computer running win2Ksp4, I juste can't enable hibernation.
that is, the hibernate mode tab is accessible, I can check the "enable" box, but when I click "apply", I just get an error message saying that the file cannot be reserved, already open or in use by some other application...

I tried on another PC, because someone told me it could result of some interaction with scsi drivers or virtual drives... I uninstalled the a347scsi.sys driver and it worked...
but on the first PC, it didn't.
I even removed my adaptec scsi controller and deleted the aic78xx driver, but it didn't help...

anyone having a clue ?

thanks !

thanks for your answer !!
actually, I found the solution:
disabling a347bus.sys (by renaming it to .old), restart, then enable hibernation, then rename back to .sys and reboot.
It works.

But now I have another quite odd issue !!! lol
When choosing hibernate, manually in the shutdown menu, it works.
When setting hibernation to 1-2-3 or 5 min, it works well.
But, if I set it to 10 min or more (I would like to set it to 2 hrs) it won't go to sleep at all !!!
What on earth could be the cause of this ?
