Hi Chris.
I'm not going to go in to too much detail *smile*, but sleeping
actually uses the hardware's own bios call functions. Depending on
the laptop and bios configuration, its possible sleep isn't supported
or poorly implemented in the bios, so waking up causes a hardware
freeze. Hanna can still use standby or hibernate which are software
based functions.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Oh, that's what Hannah has done and it's now all working! so thanks
for the lecture <smiles>. Never heard of a hardware freeze so this
is news to me.

Hi Chris.
This has happened to me on a couple of occasions although I'm using
XP. This is what's known as a hardware freeze and the only way of
resolving this is to pull all power sources from the battery. Unplug
the mains, ensuring that there is no hard drive activity,
then pull out the battery. Leave for around 30 seconds, reinstall
the battery and then the mains. You should find that everything
works properly from now on. All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [access-uk] Unusual problem with laptop
Hello all,
Has anyone heard of the below.
Hannah put her Vista laptop to sleep. When she woke it up the
entire machine froze and she can't even power it off, despite
holding it for more than five seconds.
Never heard this before and it's quite worrying. I've just told
her to let it completely discharge.
Thanks in advance for any help regarding this.
