Yep, Bill, part of what we did last night was to get rid of the hiberfil.sys file. I didn't mention it but that was what the tech from HP recommended, and yes, he was from India, but no accent over chat, only good English. I think the hiberfil.sys file was also hidden.
>Without having read the whole thread, have you tried deleting the hibernate file (hiberfile.sys) at the root of your boot drive? It can get corrupted and screw the hibernation process. Turn hibernation on after deleting the file and it will get re-created (cleanly hopefully).
