Hibernate & Standby hanging

Hello everybody.

Since yesterday I cannot put my Notebook (Compaq Evo N1950v) into Hibernate
or Standby mode. It simply hangs in eg the "Der Ruhezustand wird vorbereitet"
(Preparing for hibernate) dialog.

Even after minutes, the HD LED flickers sometimes. CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't do
anything. Mouse still works, even moving the dialog.

This is WinXP SP2 will all patches applied, I think, although I'm not sure
if I already installed the July patches. From the June patches there was one
I held back and installed just yesterday. After that Network didn't work
anymore. After some deinstallation etc. Network worked again, but now
Hibernate (and Standby) don't.

In the office I have a normal Network connected to a DSL router.
At home I have an DSL modem (AT-AR215) connected via USB.

But even if I stop the driver, DSLMON etc. hibernate hangs (I write this
because one reason I found for this problem searching the Net is related to
USB bus).

But before I never had a problem...

Anybody got any idea?

Is the anyway to debug the hibernate process (like boot and shutdown with
ntbtlog.txt) ?

Thanks in advance for any hint,
Harald Henkel

Use Google to locate a copy of Microsoft's BootVis.msi. It will
not only analyze the situaiton but also has an "optimize" feature
that sometimes takes care of such issues.
