Hibernation problem
Using SP3 with all updates on a desktop, if I resume after hibernation but
do not click my logo on the login screen within a minute or so the computer shuts down again. How can I stop it shuting down unless I tell it to? It is really anoying to get a phone call just after restarting the computer and then finding that when the call is over the computer is not up and running unless I remember half way through the conversation to go and click the startup logo. All my power option are set to never power down uhnless I click a button to do so. |

I don't know because it has always shutdown by the time I get back - if you think it is exactly 5 minutes that suggests there is a setting somewhere so how do I access the setting to change it to 30 minutes? |

I think you will find it is 5 minutes. Windows is working as designed, but perhaps not as desired as you can read he http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318355 Windows doesn't seem to know why it came out of hibernation and nothing seems to be happening and there is no good reason to be awake so it hibernates again. With this behavior, XP has your best interest in mind as usual. I don't know where to change th setting to not do that but one day I came up with a way to fool it. When you power up after hibernation, you (or your computer) needs to do something active. Doing something active means a keystroke or mouse movement. If you are not there, something needs to do it for you, but only when you hibernate. Create a batch file and run it from a desktop shortcut to put your system in hibernation. After the hibernation command is executed, there are more commands in the batch file that will be executed when the system comes out of hibernation. Those commands will manipulate the mouse cursor and fool XP into thinking the mouse moved by your hand - which is enough to satisfy XP to not go back into hibernation. Here is one way I have tested: Get the nircmd utility from he http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd2.html Put the nircmd.exe somewhere in your path or in c:\windows\system32 or refer to it directly. Crate a batch file that looks similar to this: c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate nircmd.exe movecursor 10 10 nircmd.exe movecursor -10 -10 When you run the batch file, the system will execute the first command in the batch file and the system will hibernate. Then when you power up, the rest of the batch file will run simulating mouse movement. This will convince XP you moved the mouse and the system will think it something to do when it woke up (it was not some accidental wake up). After testing the batch file, create a desktop shortcut to it and use the new shortcut to invoke hibernation (you'll get used to it). It is sort of dopey (this workaround) and you will have to remember to use the shortcut to hibernate and not the usual methods if you want the results. I don't advocate batch files or workarounds, but that is all that I have in my notes for this issue. If there is some other/better way, I would like to know about it. |

A great answer, except it doesn't seem to work
Sure, it's a great answer. Except it doesn't work. And it's been copied elsewhere on the Web...
Me: Windows XP Home SP3. I've also tried using MacroExpress by itself, and in combination with Springtime Software Events. Windows is very clever. Only a real user can prevent rehibernation. This is very frustrating in sevaral situations, among them: * Wake-on-LAN (intentional and controlled) or wake on scheduled job, so a computer can be started remotely or started when no operator can be around (3 AM). * Starting the main computer then leaving, using VNC (desktop sharing) on a remote device. "Windows doesn't know why it came out of hibernation--it was probably a mistake, so it goes back in." It's amazing that Windows knows what to do better than we do. Was it too hard to put a flag in the Registry to decide what to do? Oh, wait, I forgot, to ask Microsoft a question costs $99, and even then they don't know. Why? Because only the original programmer knows, and they are long gone, working on the latest bell and/or whistle instead of fixing fundamental bugs. Oh, excuse me, I meant features. Microsoft has no bugs. If they did, they'd have an actual bugs database online for us. Am I flaming? Sorry. Since computers can do almost enything, there must be a solution, even an arcane one (modify Windows kernel DLLs, inject a DLL into a Windows process, mount a solenoid to push the mouse around). I'll continue searching the Web and experimenting myself, but I'm not hopeful. A hearty thanks, Microsoft, for making our lives interesting!

I've also tried using MacroExpress by itself, and in combination with Springtime Software Events. Windows is very clever. Only a real user can prevent rehibernation. This is very frustrating in sevaral situations, among them: * Wake-on-LAN (intentional and controlled) or wake on scheduled job, so a computer can be started remotely or started when no operator can be around (3 AM). * Starting the main computer then leaving, using VNC (desktop sharing) on a remote device. "Windows doesn't know why it came out of hibernation--it was probably a mistake, so it goes back in." It's amazing that Windows knows what to do better than we do. Was it too hard to put a flag in the Registry to decide what to do? Oh, wait, I forgot, to ask Microsoft a question costs $99, and even then they don't know. Why? Because only the original programmer knows, and they are long gone, working on the latest bell and/or whistle instead of fixing fundamental bugs. Oh, excuse me, I meant features. Microsoft has no bugs. If they did, they'd have an actual bugs database online for us. Am I flaming? Sorry. Since computers can do almost enything, there must be a solution, even an arcane one (modify Windows kernel DLLs, inject a DLL into a Windows process, mount a solenoid to push the mouse around). I'll continue searching the Web and experimenting myself, but I'm not hopeful. A hearty thanks, Microsoft, for making our lives interesting!

How can I stop it shuting down unless I tell it to? It is really anoying to get a phone call just after restarting the computer and then finding that when the call is over the computer is not up and running unless I remember half way through the conversation to go and click the startup logo. All my power option are set to never power down uhnless I click a button to do so. On Monday, May 17, 2010 9:37 PM Jose wrote: t er er ck ess I Is it really a minute or so or is it exactly 5 minutes?

I do not know because it has always shutdown by the time I get back - if you think it is exactly 5 minutes that suggests there is a setting somewhere so how do I access the setting to change it to 30 minutes?

Windows is working as designed, but perhaps not as desired as you can read he http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318355 Windows does not seem to know why it came out of hibernation and nothing seems to be happening and there is no good reason to be awake so it hibernates again. With this behavior, XP has your best interest in mind as usual. I do not know where to change th setting to not do that but one day I came up with a way to fool it. When you power up after hibernation, you (or your computer) needs to do something active. Doing something active means a keystroke or mouse movement. If you are not there, something needs to do it for you, but only when you hibernate. Create a batch file and run it from a desktop shortcut to put your system in hibernation. After the hibernation command is executed, there are more commands in the batch file that will be executed when the system comes out of hibernation. Those commands will manipulate the mouse cursor and fool XP into thinking the mouse moved by your hand - which is enough to satisfy XP to not go back into hibernation. Here is one way I have tested: Get the nircmd utility from he http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd2.html Put the nircmd.exe somewhere in your path or in c:\windows\system32 or refer to it directly. Crate a batch file that looks similar to this: c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate nircmd.exe movecursor 10 10 nircmd.exe movecursor -10 -10 When you run the batch file, the system will execute the first command in the batch file and the system will hibernate. Then when you power up, the rest of the batch file will run simulating mouse movement. This will convince XP you moved the mouse and the system will think it something to do when it woke up (it was not some accidental wake up). After testing the batch file, create a desktop shortcut to it and use the new shortcut to invoke hibernation (you will get used to it). It is sort of dopey (this workaround) and you will have to remember to use the shortcut to hibernate and not the usual methods if you want the results. I do not advocate batch files or workarounds, but that is all that I have in my notes for this issue. If there is some other/better way, I would like to know about it.
