i_set_fire

tried this and it didnt work. there was another suggestion to registry restore. how do i do that? also set the sleep button to "do nothing" so hopefully this wont happen again.

thanks for the suggestions, guys. i will print this out and try it at home over the weekend and let you know monday if it helped. i sure hope it does. btw, i know the hibernation sucks. i never use it. but every souple months i hit the button accidentally. i took your advice from the other day and disabled it, didnt know i could do that. thanks again!

hello everyone, i cant seem to find anything helpful on this on the internet so hopefully one of you guys can help. i accidently hit the sleep mode button on my keyboard the other day. my puter went to sleep and wouldnt wake up. i had to turn it off by holding the power button in. when i started back up i got an error message of "run a dll as an app has encountered a problem and needs to close..." and my internet connection said that a network cable is unplugged. i double checked all the plugs and restarted the modem. tried a system restore. went to the device manager and uninstalled/reinstalled the network card. the green lights on the network card are not on either. if it matters, i am running xp pro. anyone have any ideas as to how to rectify this? thanks!
