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!

Ouch, your post is way to hard to read in all caps. I caught the first sentence though. I suggest you post to the original thread.
