Cannot enter standby or hibernate

I'm going to try posting here to see if anyone has any suggestions before
taking the drastic step of wiping my laptop and starting again.
I have an IBM Thinkpad T30 running Windows XP. Recently, my computer has
stopped being able to hibernate. It hangs on the "Preparing to Standby"
screen and needs to be hard shut-down. This occurs when trying to go to
standby as well (by pressing the standby key or through the shutdown menu.)
I recently applied some driver updates from IBM and I suspect that this is
the cause of my problems. I cannot restore as my IT department had disabled
this ability on my computer. Instead I have updated every driver to the
most current versions (from IBM) and have updated Windows XP (from SP1 to
SP2 and all updates since), all to no avail. I have disabled all startup
applications in case it was a TSR (terminate and stay-resident) program that
was causing the problem. I did a diagnostic startup, tried starting in safe
mode, all to no avail.
I have tried IBM support - they were of no help.
Any suggestions?
