Troubleshoot laptop Hibernation and Standby issues

Wake up! Troubleshoot laptop Hibernation and Standby issues
Some programs or devices—particularly those with outdated drivers or drivers that aren't ACPI compliant—can cause this error to occur. If you have trouble determining which program is causing the problem, try the Windows Power Management Troubleshooter, which is available as free a download from Microsoft. It is written specifically for Windows 98 but may be of some use in other versions, as well. Also, look for a file called Nohiber.txt in the main Windows folder in Explorer. If present, it will give you clues about which device is preventing the laptop from entering Hibernation or Standby mode.
