Double Impact Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Hello Any help would be appreciated. I've slimmed down Vista Ultimate to make it faster. Unfortunately, as this aim was achieved, Vista cannot go to hibernation any more. UnvLite'ed installation was OK.Now the screen fades out for 2 seconds and the word "Hibernating" can be seen, then it immediately returns me to desktop. Just no errors - nothing.Sleep does work, however. I haven't configured what can cause this.If anybody has a clue, please comment.My preset is attached here.Last_Session.ini Edited November 4, 2008 by Double Impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo66 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I don't have a clue, but...I'd start off by not removing any display drivers, storage drivers, windows services. You may also want to keep several system components as well. I realize some aren't necessary, but for the sake of troubleshooting, keep them intact (for now). You know what to do next...

clavicle Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I also have same problem on my Vaio. The laptop doesn't get hibernated, though I have checked all dependencies, vaio drivers etc. May be one of the unlisted dependency is to be blamed.

spacesurfer Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 i don't have a problem on my OLD IBM ThinkPad T42. i think i removed the video drivers but i'm not certain. i will confirm and repost here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Barry Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) I'm having the same problem as you. I can't hibernate at all (I don't even see the words...). My desktop can't also (also vLited), but I don't case about this one. I think it's definitely vLite that is doing this problem.Can you post your session.ini spacesurfer?

spacesurfer Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yes, I confirmed that I did remove the video drivers with vLite and I CAN hibernate and sleep. But I did install the latest graphics drivers so that my be your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clavicle Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I have got the option of "hibernate" on my laptop, but clicking it just logs me off and brings me back to logon screen after a brief black screen, but nothing beyond that. This behaviour is there on the desktop too. A similar session on xp enables hibernation. This seems really funny! Can someone tell another dependency?Last_Session.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Barry Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) If we rule out Accessories, Drivers, Languages, Hardware Support, Network and Multimedia (as the problem is not likely there) and with the last_session of clavicle and mine, we have a posibility of this:;# Services #Distributed Link Tracking ClientDistributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC)Error ReportingInteractive Services DetectionQuality Windows Audio Video ExperienceRemote RegistryRouting and Remote AccessSecondary LogonSecure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP)Universal Plug and Play (UPNP)WebDAV (WebClient)Windows Search;# System #BeepCrash Dump SupportDigital LockerDigital Rights Management (DRM)Disk DefragmenterDisk QuotaGuided HelpHelpIMAPIv2 Burning SupportMalicious Software Removal ToolManual Install (Setup.exe)Microsoft AgentNatural LanguageParental ControlsRemote Differential CompressionRun a legacy CPL elevatedSecurity CenterSoftware Quality Management (SQM)Sync CenterTablet PCWindows BackupWindows DefenderWindows Easy TransferWindows SAT (Performance Index)Does hibernating works in a VM?

spacesurfer Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 it's strange that i have the same problem on my desktop but not on my laptop although the vLited was teh same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clavicle Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I just reinstalled vista on my desktop. Used powercfg -h onRebootTried to hibernate using Shutdown /h What I got was : File not foundNow which file is MIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Barry Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 You must disable hybrid sleep to be able to hibernate (if you don't have the option in the shutdown menu, you can't). Also, there is a hibfile.sys (or something like that) in C:\ (file hidden). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clavicle Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Yes, hybrid sleep is off.Shutdown menu has hibernate optionI wanted to see some error, so I used cmdI get "The system cannot find the file specified.(2)"Hiberfil.sys is obviously present!btw, I get to see this message in cmd window only after log back. This cmd console is same which was used to run hibernation command!What I feel is it might be pointing out to some other dependency probably!

El Barry Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Just tried the command in the cmd windows and I got the same result as you clavicle. Strange, very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo66 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 If device drivers can be ruled out, I'd take a closer look at the Services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there is a hibfile.sys (or something like that) in C:\ (file hidden).Not true. I just tried it using shutdown /h from the command prompt. Hybrid sleep is enabled, btw.I have mine setup so that the system goes to sleep after 1 hour, and hibernates after 2 hours (of inactivity).
