XP Auto-hibernates on start-up

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi!

There could be a program running in the background of windows that may be
interfering with the functionality of your suspend mode. What I would like
you to do is disable some of these program using a utility called MSconfig. I
will list the steps on how to run this utility below.

1. Click on start
2. Click on run
3. Type in 'MSconfig'
4. On the new window that opens click on the tab labeled 'Startup'
5. Now you should be able to see a list of program with checkmark boxes
beside them. At the bottom of the window you should be able to see a disable
all button. Click on this button.
6. Click on apply then close. Once you have reset the system, it will ask
you to reset one more time.
After you have gone back into windows after restarting twice try going back
into suspend mode.

It might be your Anti-Virus or any prgoram which monitor your System Activity.
