[QUOTE="floater, post: 369709, member: 85775"] Mr Spock, I don't think I can help you but I have had a similar issue. I noticed that my machine no longer hibernated properly after installing mediaportal. When I asked my machine to hibernate, the screen would switch off but the pc remained fully powered up. When I moved the mouse, the logon screen appeared instantly. In my case, I have not enabled the powerscheduler. Also, I tried stopping the TVService to see if that made any difference: Hibernate still did not work properly. My issue sounds a little bit different to yours but I'll explain what I did in case it helps anyone. I'm using Vista 64 Ultimate. Having read your post, I checked out the event viewer to see if I had the same problem as you. I looked for occasions when I had asked the machine to hibernate and found no evidence of any errors or warnings, just something about entering "Away Mode". When I looked closely at Control Panel, Power Options, Change Plan Settings, Change Advanced Power Settings, I noticed "Away Mode" mentioned under "Multimedia Settings" and I realised what had happened. I had selected "Allow the computer to enter Away Mode" when sharing media. This allows other computers on the network to continue to access shared media on my computer by preventing a full hibernation. You can change it to "Allow the computer to Sleep". In my case, I disabled the media sharing instead and now my machine does hibernate properly. Hope that helps someone. R [/QUOTE]
