Default 2-hour hibernate failure

Not all 'events' are recorded but the hibernate time out clock is being
reset..

Well, forgive me but I surely have to wonder what it is that is going on
at your end...

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. 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.

Yes, and maybe John can devise a way to tell us why
it is being reset.

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.

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.

Yes, and maybe John can devise a way to tell us why
it is being reset.

Well, forgive me but I surely have to wonder what it is that is
going on at your end...

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. 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.

Default 2-hour hibernate failure

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?

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.
