Q:
Hibernation delay on XP Pro Laptop
Windows XP, Hibernate
XP Pro on Acer Laptop. If I just close the lid it hibernates quickly, but if I go via theStart menu it frequently hangs at 'preparing to Hibernate' for up to 30 minutes and may never do so. If it does, then often get BSOD on resume.

On laptops, there are usually power settings in the CMOS menu also.
