Let's say you just disable 5 and test. No good? Do 5 more and test

later (hours later), you will find the culprit. Maybe you can Google
(yes it is now an official verb in the English language) the items to
help you see what they do, if they are on some auto update/check thing
and if you can do without them - at least for testing.
You have many, many variables and the process of elimination may take
less time than researching individual items to find out what they do.
When you find the one that prevents hibernation, research that one and
figure out if you can change it. If you can't figure out what it is,
figure out what it's not.
Jose, my work on this will continue but very sporadic until
after Sunday, because we have a daughter and 30-year old granddaughter
visiting us and sharing the computer until then. Your advice is sound
and welcome and I started with the 7 you listed, overnight, taking
them out of startup. Was no help. But I'll be back.
I like to snip off a bunch of older stuff, so if anybody objects,
let me know.
Continuing on, since the computer is available, I have disabled many
of the items, leaving only 3 questionable "user" items in the
TaskManager list. I have to track down, for one thing, why
RealSched keeps coming back onto the startup list even when I
uncheck it. Not vital, because for the 2-hour test, I can just
delete it from RAM.
There is RTHDCPL.EXE which is some kind of Windows Audio program
which I can uncheck for these tests.
And there is RecGuard which also keeps coming back when I uncheck it.
Maybe you can advise me on those. Anyway, I still have a running system
with darn near everything that is "Compaq User" and suspicious in the
Task List, unchecked and not in RAM.
And further!!!!
ISUSPM.exe and ISSCH.EXE ...
Install Shield Update Service!!! And Scheduler!!!!
It obviously runs without being asked to by *me*.
I have searched but can't find out what the built-in parameters are.
Maybe one of them runs every hour!!!!
Anybody got any suggestions of built-in, hard-wired
'helpful' programs, like these, that maybe run every hour?
Uncheck ISUSPM - that is the InstallShield stuff which does want to
run and look for updates periodically. It is configurable, but wants
to look once a day. That could mean after 1 hour of idle, it checks.
You can change it, but I would uninstall it, but you will have to look
for it yourself to see how to do these things. Look in Add/Remove
Programs.
Reboot and if those processes are still running in TM, terminate them.
Where is that CCcleaner Startup screenshot!?
Sorry, Jose.....I thought I had posted it.
Here's the way it is now. ope you can read it.
BTW, CCcleaner, when I ran
it yesterday, cleaned out the "Run" places that I like to keep.
You say those files are configurable, but I don't know how.
I don't think I'll find them in Add/Remove.....
