Dear Sir/Madam,

Thanks for the above and would like to rule if this a software or a hardware issues. connect charger turn on
laptop and keep pressing F10 for Bios. A blue screen would appear. Does it shutdown on the Bis blue screen ?
Regarding the changes you made to your network adaptor is slightly confusing. Good luck

Dear olacoa,

Please answer Yes or no to the followings as this helps us to narrow down the problem.

Microsoft 2007 opened the document ?

You can make changes to the document ?

Microsoft 2007 can close and open back again ?

Basically the usb inserted is not been recognised and as such
you're not able to save the document.

Method 1:

Attach the document to an email message and print it at the business centre
by checking your email inbox. if you don't have a 2nd email account set up another.

Swap test computer with another usb device or the other way round. any difference ?

Have you tried all usb ports on the computer

Is this a laptop or a desktop ie Windows XP or Vista

To double check the usb device click start, run and type in

devmgmt.msc press enter click + universal serial bus controller

Any yellow signs ? or !. Good luck

i guess you are trying to say your pc is slow when starts from hibernation

how much RAM do you have ? and how much of your disc space is left on your hard drive and roughly how many programs would be running when you put into hibernation
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by DisGuy: 2:11pm On Dec 31, 2010
I have 1.00GB RAM

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by sameolg616(m): 3:44pm On Dec 31, 2010
be informed, wen u hibernate, it is always advisable u close any online activity,music,games or movie playing, the system on startup will try to reference the memory location holding such data, this is very evident wen ur playing music and u hibernate, on startup,u will get like a scratching sound because its trying to countinue from wer it stopped.dat way u will kill ur hard disk gradually, hibernation is best used wen u have idle programs running in the back ground
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by sameolg616(m): 3:49pm On Dec 31, 2010
for those suggesting ram and hard disk space for hibernation probs, thats never tru, its simply a simultaneous reference to a particular location on hard disk and in memory, so its expected to slow down, eg, its like trying to rejoin a bus on high speed rather from the bus-stop
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by olacoa: 3:50pm On Dec 31, 2010
@deji2009, tanx bro. From quertion 1 to 4 is yes. Like i said b4, i cannot launch any application on it again even 2 browsd, its impossible. This is wat happened 2 usb ports also. Nothing is working except the ms word.

i dont get you there

i did not suggest more RAM but wanted to find how much he has

then for the hard drive yes the hard space plays a big role in hibernating, the file are temprary put on the hard drive then back to RAM when it powers back on

confused about what i think you are getting it wrong somewhere

as long the driver is the right now then you must be missing something in the configuration to send

hello sir
whats the make of yoyr phone, do you use a pc suite
in my opinion installing the pc suite 4 the phone model is the best way to ensure that your phone works properly with your
PC,
but if your phone is a samsung then it could just be that its an incompatible driver issue,

ZIM DRILL:

I agree with you both and most importantly sameolg616 advice about a
simultaneous reference to a particular location on the hard drive.

worth to check the RAM size like ZIM DRILL has advised. for example a customer had 500GB
and 1GB RAM and paging size allocated from the RAM to the hard drive is 320MB then this problem
would occur. That's my explanations about the hibernate issue (hiberfil.sys)
