Hibernation: laptop locks on preparing to hibernate

by 5_William Feb 2, 2009 4:54AM PST

I have a Compaq Presario 2100, running under Windows XP Home Edition, Service Pack 3.

I have the hibernation option enabled. This has worked satisfactorily several times but now it fails to work.

On preparing to hibernate my laptop locks.

What is the remedy, please?

I'd reload the OS. Maybe there is some USB device plugged in?
