T42 won't suspend or Hibernate

[sagara]

I haven't used my T42 for a while - been using my Dell PC - but I need it as I'm travelling now. The problem is it won't go into Suspend or Hibernate. I tried re-installing the Power Management driver, and the Battery MaxiMiser and Power Management Features, but anything I set it just ignores - except that when I close the lid, it does bleep but does not go into suspend mode as set. When I select Suspend either by Fn F4, or using XP's Suspend, or selecting it from Windows Task Manager, the HDD goes active for a while, then stops and freezes - I can only turn off the TP by holding down the Power Button.

There should be some task that is preventing the Sleep or Hibernation modes. Check and see if there are any recent hardware and software additions. Run a virus check also.

I haven't added anything - software of hardware - and a virus check draws a blank. However, in a few hours I'm flying to San Francisco from the UK, so I'll have another look when I arrive.

Thanks,
