| Failure to reboot after hibernate System was running AVG Full Scan at the time XP wanted to hibernate. AVG was running without screen output. Now cannot reboot... Just hangs up at Windows XP with the progress bar constantly moving... So tried Safe Mode... Many device drivers are loaded, and the last one is Mup.sys. Then Nothing! Moved disk to another system... Used CD to Repair. Finally got to DOS> prompt... Now running a chkdsk /R... which I'm sure it does NOT need! But I cannot find out how to "remove" the hibernate files and/or registry entries to get a regular reboot of the system! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Greg |

You will know it is the correct file because it size will be the same as your physical memory installed. It doesn't sound like a hibernate problem though. I will give it some thought and will be curious what happens when you delete the hibernate storage file. Ciao . . . C.Joseph |

| Re: Failure to reboot after hibernate Hi, I have experienced the same problem on several PCs (startup stops at mup.sys). Sometimes I was able to start in safe mode, but in worst cases computer acted almost dead. In this cases I didn't even get windows startup menu (to choose safe mode or similar). But everytime the same steps solved the problem: - boot computer from Windows CD and choose repair (R) - from command prompt run: chkdsk /r - when checkdisk finishes, remove Windows CD and boot WindowsXP normally. Before that I tried zillion tips I found on web, but none of them helped.
