Hibernation Issue

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hello, I just did a fresh install of XP Home on my laptop, a Sony Vaio
PCG-V505EX. I instaled from a XP Home, OEM CD rather than the Sony restore
ones...too much junk gets installed that I'd end up removing. Anyway, when I
try to enable Hibernation from desktop/properties/screensaver/power
management I get an error saying "The process cannot access the file because
it is being used by another process" I looked for Hibfile.sys and its not on
my hd. Any ideas as to whats wrong and a possible fix? Btw, I've installed
all sps and updates.
Thanks, Edison
