XP SP2 insufficient resources to hibernate
I have a new laptop which I upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. I'm having the same
problem many have written about on this site - the system cannot hibernate due to insufficient system resources. I noticed a post when I did a search on Google about this suggesting that the problem could be due to an insufficient cache size on the hard drive large enough for the computer to write all the memory to before hibernating. Has anyone tried increasing the cache size to fix this problem? If so, did it work? (Forgive me if I'm using incorrect terminology. I'm a novice.) |

XP SP2 insufficient resources to hibernate
the question could be : do you have 2 gig worth of free space on hard drive
for Hibernate file. Possibly contiguous space? "novice_geek" wrote: I have a new laptop which I upgraded to 2 GB of RAM.

XP SP2 insufficient resources to hibernate
I have 50 GB of free space on my 70 GB drive. I am using XP Home SP2, and I
know that the reource allocation is a known issue with Microsoft. "Dixonian69" wrote: the question could be : do you have 2 gig worth of free space on hard drive for Hibernate file.

XP SP2 insufficient resources to hibernate
Delete the current hiberfil.sys
and defrag hard drive. Hard drive cache is fixed on hard drive. don't think it can be changed. some have 2mb and some 8mb cache. "novice_geek" wrote: I have 50 GB of free space on my 70 GB drive.

What does hiberfil.sys do? I'm always hesitant to delete files if I don't
know what they are. "Dixonian69" wrote: Delete the current hiberfil.sys and defrag hard drive.
