HI, ONGOING PROBLEM WITH HIBERNATION STANDBY. ROCK AND DB OFFERED USEFUL
SUGGESTIONS.

WHEN I PULL THE AC POWER AND THE BATTERY (RESET CMOS) THE HIBERNATION
FUNCTION APPEARS TO WORK.

CAN I RESET THE CMOS/BIOS TO DEFAULT WITHOUT PULLING THE BATTERY? THIS SEEMS
TO BE THE ONLY STEP THAT WORKS. ANY LINKS FOR MORE DETAILED INFO OR ADVICE
WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

I HAVE ELIMINATED AS MANY BACKGROUND PROGRAMS AS I CAN.

THE PROBLEM WAS AT :21 AND :51 PAST THE HOUR THE PC WOULD BE AWAKENED FROM
SLEEP AND 5 MINUTES LATER RETURN TO SLEEP.

I HAVE BYPASSED THE POWER MANAEGEMENT WINDOW AND SETTING THE HIBERNATING
MODE MANUALLY. IT IS WORKING (3 HOURS) STILL EVALUATING TO SEE IF IT WORKS.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
