Hibernate => wake-up...stuck

[Cmdr.Keen]

I've searched for a bit to try and find a similar problem and thought I stumbled onto a solution here, but I wasn't able to replicate their scenario...

Here's mine: I'll hibernate (Fn + F12), sometimes on AC power, sometimes on battery, and when I try and wake it, the "bar" fills across the bottom of the screen, then just sits there with no hard drive activity (at least there's no blinking light).

I thought about disabling the Hibernation function, then defragging my drive, but WinXP tells me I don't need to. Perhaps it's lying...it's been known to do that.

Does anyone else have any ideas? Is it something simple I've overlooked?

(System in sig.)

Thanks in advance!

This happens to me once in a while as well. I'll turn it on from hibernation and the bar reaches the end and stays there. If you wait long enough though it does boot up eventually (~3min but it varies).

I suspect it may have something to do with a network connection (maybe windows or the wireless driver is waiting for something) but I've learned to put up with it
