2-hour hibernate failure

If you do have a wireless router, why are its wireless functions running if you use a telephone cable to plug to the internet? Why is this service back to Auto? For all I know maybe you have 'unwanted guests' accessing your wireless router... Maybe you inadvertently changed some of these settings while you were 'playing' with CodeStuff Starter. I'm still quite busy with other commitments, I will try to be back later with a new batch file for you to run, we'll give it another try. John Well,John, the only approach I can see that makes sense, is for you to give me a script file that will set all my services to what you want, and then I'll run ServiceStat.vbc and autoruns.exe and establish a baseline, and then I'll simply let it sit for 2 hours and run autoruns.exe again and report autostart.txt and we can see what was changed when I do nothing in between.

For all I know maybe you have 'unwanted guests' accessing your wireless router... Maybe you inadvertently changed some of these settings while you were 'playing' with CodeStuff Starter.

Well, certainly not on any kind of dial-up basis.
In the past, on specific occasion, I have granted remote access to Symantec on-line-chat-technical help to allow them to fix software problems. But do you really think they are in any way accessing my machine and causing it not to hibernate? Remember, I am doing all these tests with my machine isolated from the outside world.

What is this thing? What software are you running that needs this thing to be set to Auto? A quick search had revealed that it might belong to an accounting package, I can't say for sure but anything with "sql" in it usually suggests that it is part of some kind of database. And I have to wonder if this database is in anyway associated to the Indexing service that seemed to be doing cataloging work at any or all hours of the day. Viewpoint Manager Service was set to Auto, now it's Disabled. Information on this is a bit scant or vague but it seems that it might be junk installed by AOL and that it might be needed for some AOL features... or that it might be unwanted junk related to adware. Without knowing if you are on AOL I had decided to leave it on Auto for the time being. But as far as I'm concerned if you can live without it maybe you should have it disabled. W32Time set to Manual now back to Auto. You said in earlier posts that the Time service was improperly configured and that it couldn't synchronize with a time server, so all it's doing is trying (and failing) to contact a time server, network traffic for naught and for that specific reason I wanted to remove this from the picture, but I see that it is back... like the cat with nine lives... WZCSVC was set to Manual now it's back to Auto. This is is the service that automatically configures 802.11 wireless network devices. Are you on a wireless network? You said that you are a standalone machine that is not part of a network and that you plug to the internet with a telephone cable (I assume DSL, not dial-up, right?). Is your printer running on wireless? Is the webcam a wireless device? Do you have a wireless router? If you do have a wireless router, why are its wireless functions running if you use a telephone cable to plug to the internet? Why is this service back to Auto? For all I know maybe you have 'unwanted guests' accessing your wireless router... Maybe you inadvertently changed some of these settings while you were 'playing' with CodeStuff Starter. I'm still quite busy with other commitments, I will try to be back later with a new batch file for you to run, we'll give it another try. John Well,John, the only approach I can see that makes sense, is for you to give me a script file that will set all my services to what you want, and then I'll run ServiceStat.vbc and autoruns.exe and establish a baseline, and then I'll simply let it sit for 2 hours and run autoruns.exe again and report autostart.txt and we can see what was changed when I do nothing in between. Meanwhile, I'm waiting for your advice. I can't understand how the Events Log shows absolutely nothing happening in the two-hour period, so no reason for it not to obey the hibernate command......yet it jest doesn't do it. |

2-hour hibernate failure

Are you strictly dialup? I thought I made that clear. I am DSL on a regular phone line, hardwired and on all the time. And I can't find Windows Workgroup Engine in Add/Remove. Does Windows Workgroup Engine appear in add/remove programs? William B. Lurie" wrote in message ... Well, certainly not on any kind of dial-up basis. In the past, on specific occasion, I have granted remote access to Symantec on-line-chat-technical help to allow them to fix software problems. But do you really think they are in any way accessing my machine and causing it not to hibernate? Remember, I am doing all these tests with my machine isolated from the outside world. Specifically, I guess those 'services' can be Disabled, to remove any such worries. Unknown wrote: PSQLWGE (your services) is Window Workgroup Engine. That and 'lanmanworkstation' indicate to me that other computers have access to your computer. "William B. Lurie" wrote in message ... No, I have XP/Home Edition/SP2 ..... And, to my knowledge, I installed no Workgroup Engine. Unknown wrote: Your XP is Professional? Did you install Windows Workgroup Engine? "William B. Lurie" wrote in message ... Yes, and maybe John can devise a way to tell us why it is being reset. Unknown wrote: Not all 'events' are recorded but the hibernate time out clock is being reset.. "William B.

The last batch file that I asked you to run would have changed some of the start values of some of the services but I note some inconsistencies: Ati HotKey Poller set to Manual now it' Disabled. Not that it matters but who disabled this? Browser set to Manual now it's back on Auto. Who set this back to Auto? You told me that you have a stand alone desktop and that definitely you are not on a network. The Browser service maintains the browse list, a list of of all available servers on domains or a list of available computers on workgroups. The Browser service does broadcast announcements over the network at specific time intervals (like every 12 minutes, until the Master Browser tells it to shut up) and plays a role in the assignment of browser tasks to specific computers on the network. You have no network... why is the Browser service on Auto? Maybe someone wants this thing barking every 12 minutes.... lanmanserver set to Disabled now it's Manual. No network, no file and printer sharing so as far as I'm concerned this should be set to disabled, Manual might also be fine but the point is, who changed it from Disabled to Manual? LexBceS still set to Auto. This is part of your Lexmark printer software, if the printer and all its software was removed I have to wonder why is this service still present... psqlWGE set to Manual now it's bact to Auto.
