Now that MOM.exe is not a problem...the computer will not hibernate..i can

Any suggestions about Hibernation?


I couldn't find anything that documents what that .exe does.
It does seem to be part of the ATI driver.

Uninstalling the ATI driver and reinstalling it again might be
an option. That is what someone who built their own computer
might try. If this is a laptop, sometimes you need the
driver from the manufacturer, as it may have customizations
(to run the LCD panel). But for desktop video cards, you
may be able to use a driver straight from ATI (amd.com).

If you can locate the "mom.exe" file, you might upload it
to virustotal.com and have it scanned.

C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static\MOM.exe

Did you quarantine it, or tell the scanner to ignore it?

I uninstalled the ATI graphics and then reinstalled it and uninstalled the
Graphics suite. No MOM.exe is now loaded when I boot.
Still cannot hibernate.

Is hibernation allowed in your Power Options in Control Panel?
Create a new shortcut on your desktop, put this in the command line

%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState

save it, then double-click on it and see what happens.
