I used to use hibernate every day to continue work in progress. I installed XP and in the process I somehow failed to uninstall 98SE. So, I have a dual boot. I disabled the 98SE boot, so now it always boots XP.
When I hibernate the XP screen it hibernates okay, but it will not resume. I just get a black screen. When I restart I get a choice to continue trying to resume or to start fresh with XP.
Can I make the hibernate effecive with XP?

Thanks,

Ron

Hibernate should NOT be used on a desktop PC! Here's just a few of the possible issues with XP:

I recommend you disable it altogether.

I agree with jam.

If your computer is NOT a laptop/notebook then you can stop Hibernate.
Hibernation, reserves disk space equal to your RAM.
