Since you have Viewpoint Manager Service started in services, have
you opened it and disabled auto update?
Could be this service is looking for updates for viewpoint
products and thusly not allowing hibernation.

Well, I didn't consciously install it, have never intentionally used
it and don't know what it's for, I'll certainly disable it and see
what
that does for me, good or bad. Thanks.

And now, John, some new evidence elicited from Clean Booth overnight
run on Clone system, with phone line disconnected:

Note that the first of the questionable Events on System was a
newbie.... Application Layer Gateway Service started.....From
then on, it was every hour, another intrusion calol to WIA.....
Does that tell anything?

I'm not so sure that your "Clean Boot" is all that clean... I
suspect that Norton plays a role in the ALG request to the Service
Control Manager. The WIA... I suspect your web cam or your Lexmark
printer. From the clone after you boot do the Net Start and the
Tasklist /svc commands and see what is running when you clean boot.

Also run the AT command, it should return "There are no entries in
the list".

John
Glad to see you again, John. I'll act on your latest suggestions, but
first how would you suggest I take Lexmark and Webcam out of the
picture?I'd prefer not to uninstall them.....
And I'll run the AT command, but I don't recognize it. I'll do as you
say as soon as I hear from you, but first, this morning's test:

What I have: disabled Viewpoint Mgr and WIA, my phone line was
unplugged, Error Reporting and Event Log set to Automatic, and
then what I thought was Clean Boot, and ran for 3.5 hours....
during which *no* events of any kind were to be found in the
events log. This threw me, but it's what I saw. Now I will have lunch,
followed by what you ask (including clarification of 'AT' please).

AT will simply let you see if you have any Scheduled Tasks.

John

And I'd like to run it... but where, what's its syntax? I can
look at StartControl PanalScheduled Tasks to make sure it
is empty.... I'll start the 3-hour run now, assuming I find
it empty. First I'll Clean Boot, then net start and tasklist,
make sure there are no scheduled tasks......
