[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1161127, member: 74879"] [I]Some[/I] new findings: After manually [U]hibernating[/U] the PC yesterday, it came up with the usual partial home screen on top of the Windows desktop, and stayed like this, yet did not crash. So removing the Info plugin did make an effect. However, I found out that the server shares were not accessible, hence no wonder that MP is unresponsive because databases are remote on the server. The attempt to manually access the share (e.g. in Explorer via \\server) throwed an error message that this user was not allowed. As the PC is part of a domain, user acount names have the format domain/username. I suspect that after resume from hibernate something is going wrong with the autologon communication and only the username part got transmitted to the server. Instead of entering the credentials directly into the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon), I now used netplwiz to create entries from the user selection and password dialogues.
