WIA and hibernation again

Turn 1 of the last 5 on and test again. Sooner or 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..... http://bellsouthpwp.net/b/i/billurie/ccshot1.jpg |
