I'm using Windows XP Pro with all latest updates...

I'm confused about my computer automatically going into hibernation when it
is not used for certain lengths of the time. Sometimes it seems to do this,
and other times it is does not go into hibernation even after hours of non-use

Does anybody know why it works sometimes and not others?

Thanks,
Bob
 
Re: Why hibernation sometimes and not others?

There is more to "non-use" than meets the eye. Certain software may
preclude it from running. Updates from Microsoft or other companies
being installed is one instance, of just some software that checks
resources like CD burning software, etc.
