Hello,
I added RAM to my laptop recently, and have been seeing strange behavior
regarding hibernate. (It used to work consistenly.)
When I select Hibernate from the Shutdown list of options, I a message
along the lines of "insufficient resources for API". I have plenty of
space on the disk. Sometimes, Hibernate isn't an option on the Shutdown
list.
When I go to Settings->Control Panel->Options, the Hibernate tab doesn't
always appear.
If you expanded your RAM past 1GB, it is a known issue. All you need to
do is go to the Microsoft knowledge base to get the hotfix number. You
can not download the hotfix directly. You the have to call Microsoft
technical support and tell them the hotfix number you are calling about.
They will ask you some questions to determine if the hotfix is applicable
to you. They will then ask for your e-mail address, and send you a link
to download the file.
If you are talking about http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888575/en-us than
1GB is not when the problem occurs. It is at above 4GB. While users are
buying, building, or upgrading to above 1GB, not many are over 4GB so it
is not a good assumption that this is the problem. The more memory you
have, the longer it takes to copy it all into an equivalently sized file
on the hard drive (and to restore the file's contents into memory on power
resume).
Since you actually didn't point at the KB article to which you vaguely
referenced, maybe you were talking about
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888575/en-us. You do NOT have to call
Microsoft. A link is right there in the KB article to get it. Since the
problem arises under high stress, the user could unload some programs or
wait until the host quiesces before putting it into hibernate mode. This
presumes the OP hasn't yet bothered to install Service Pack 2 which
includes this hotfix (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811113/en-us). Why
bother with the effort to install a hotfix than to install a service pack?
Or maybe the problem is the OP is using software that interferes with
hibernation, like http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331506/en-us. Testing
in safe boot mode would help determine if the cause was due to a software
conflict. But then, again, the OP should've updated to Service Pack 2 by
now.
I should have specified that I have sp2 installed. The RAM change was from
1 to 2 gb.
Thanks for the links, I'll look in to them.
