I have an HP Compaq nx9010 laptop for the past 2 yrs which came pre-installed with WinXP Pro SP1. Everything was working fine including the Stand By & Hibernate feature.
Yesterday I formatted & re-installed Windows (there was no recovery CD - just an OS CD {XPwithSP1} + a driver CD) & everything went fine. I then installed the SP2 pack. All ok except for the fact that I cannot get the laptop to go into Stand By or hibernation mode. It just goes to a blue screen saying "Preparing to hibernate" & hangs there till eternity.
I've combed the HP Site & upgraded my firmware but to no avail. I just cannot live without the stand-by & hibernation mode.
Can someone please give me some ideas ?
Thx & Best Rgds,
Prakash.
