Hibernate Simply locks computer and shuts off Monitor
I have had this HP dv 2045dx with windows 7 premium home edition for a little less than a year now and since I've had I have not been able to hibernate.
I have gone through every tutorial about typing in the correct command to enable hibernation and after I did all of this hiberfil.sys exists and the registry says hibernation is enabled however I still recieve the same behavior. I belive I have tracked the problem to a registry key: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Power
I've loooked at this key for win 2000 and some other places on the internet and they say there is supposed to be a heuristics value which is not there.
They also seem to have non-zero values for HiberCompressTime, HiberCopyBytes, HiberCopyTime, ...etc. All of which for me is zero.
I have checked and made sure none of my devices are keeping the computer running through Device Manager
I have disabled the ability for programs to keep my system running in the registry.
I have changed the power settings to what I thought might work then back to the default many times.
All of these fixes still result in the same behavior of my computer locking and turning off the monitor but not hibernating.
Hibernate is probably one of my fav things and I miss it terribly. could anyone offer any advice as to how to get it fixed.
included is the aforementioned key.
