Vista Hibernate Mode
-
Does anyone else here use hibernate in Vista? When I wake my desktop machine from hibernation, it only allows me about two minutes to log in. After the two minutes, if I haven't logged in, it automatically re-hibernates. :mad: I can't find any setting in the Power Options control panel that addresses this behavior. Does anyone know how I might stop it from automatically re-hibernating?

Log in within two minutes? Sorry it's late and the office and the Lounge are both so quiet. I just couldn't resist. But seriously, me no vista.

No, but you normally do something else while it un-hibernates and often miss the window.

I'm not entirely certain this answers your question but ... By default, your computer goes to sleep after a short period of inactivity to conserve energy. To keep the computer awake longer, increase the amount of time of the Sleep after setting. To keep your computer awake longer 1. Open Power Options by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Power Options. 2. In the left pane, click Change when the computer sleeps. 3. On the Change settings for the plan page, in the Put the computer to sleep list, click the amount of time under On battery or Plugged in (or both), and then click Save changes. I found this information here: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/3b59bc06-2353-408e-b66c-70d4090118d71033.mspx[^]

Hibernating is something similar to the standby mode. When you standby, the current state of the Windows is saved on memory and other resources are released until you power the machine. In hibernated mode, status of Windows is being saved to harddisk, machine powers off. When you power it on, the status is read from harddisk and you can resume from where you left. Rebooting issue is not directly connected to the hibernate mode i suppose. It's a power saving action. -- Burcu Dogan http://blog.burcudogan.com

By installing windows XP
I've got to hand it to you, that is a truly original sarcastic remark. That's the absolute first time anyone has made that joke.

My hibernate wakes up fairly quickly and then I log in. I can't really think of a reason to wake the computer up and then not log on so I have never experienced the behavior. I bet there is an policy edit option for it somewhere.

Here's a reason: I come home, turn on the computer, check the snail mail, feed the cat, do other things, and then I want to sit down at the computer and log in. It should be waiting for me like a good servant. It shouldn't be needing me to babysit the boot process so that I can catch it before it auto-hibernates.

I figured you had a good reason. But keep in mind, like everything else MS does, if it doesn't match the workflow of the programmer who wrote it you can't fix it.

I've never had much luck with hibernate in any os, however I now do all my work in VMWare virtual machines and the suspend mode works perfectly and is super slick. I rarely ever restart my os's now unless it's time for the weekly defrag and cleanup of the temp files.

Well, I appreciate that. But there are two main reasons that I couldn't do that: My machine is not capable of running a virtual machine with enough performance to satisfy me. I don't like leaving the machine on when I'm not home, so I would still have to hibernate it, and then wake it up.

I have my power settings configured to never auto-hibernate, but just to auto-sleep only when on battery or when I close the lid.

Heck, I can't even figure out the difference between sleep and hibernate, so I just shut down. I mean, isn't hibernation a form of sleep? Can't these geniuses who write these OS's come up with terms that mean something, and aren't effectively synonymous? Hmmm? Marc

Very good point. Do you know exactly what it reminds me of? Remember at the beginning when RAM was first starting to increase from just a handful of kilobytes? First there was High memory, then Expanded memory, then Extended memory..... They have as much trouble coming up with these names as you or I would. ;)
