hemsby Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I recently reinstalled Windows XP Pro on my laptop including drive format. Afterwards I upgraded the RAM to 4gb. Both op's were successful with one exception. Now using the power options I am unable to get the Hibernation to work, when I tick the enable hibernation box and select "Apply" I get a message :- "Unable to reserve Hibernation file" "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" Any ideas please Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Dave Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I am not running XP Pro right now but do you have the "Allow Hybrid Sleep" option? Hibernate should be set to Never or 0 to turn it off. Are you logged on as an admin? Have you installed the latest XP service pack? You may want to check the manufacturer's site for a patch specific to your model of laptop.

If so why? Microsoft has had problems with Hibernation on several OS's, best advice don't use it! cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerman Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Will Sleep mode work? I find for sleep to work correctly, some tweaking needs to be done. Any wireless devices should have the 'allow this device to bring the computer out of standby' unchecked. Also, network cards may cause sleep and hibernation to not work properly and if you don't need to wake remotely, the same check should be ticked off. In a google search I found this: Have you installed Demon Tools or Alchohol burner software ?? if yes then uninstall it\them and restart... enable hibernation.... if its working then you can reinstall the software. But, there's lots of google info on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdanteek Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 CD, this is the forum where folks are supposed to post about non-Roxio issues. Did you think I was scolding the OP? I simply asked if he thought it was a Roxio problem... Thanks for the General Chat forum explanation, although it wasn't needed.... cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP did not mention Roxio in his post. And, I wasn't dissing you, CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
