| | Slow Hibernate proformance improved/fixed My computer was taking about 13 min to shut off when hibernating. I discovered this web page http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...vices-quicker/ and discovered that the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WaitToKillServiceTimeout was set to 190000ms when, according to ths website, it is defaulted to 20000ms. I set it to 5000ms, the min recomended by this page, and my computer hibernates in about 1min. |

| | Re: Slow Hibernate proformance improved/fixed Hum. I never received a comment from Microsoft on this issue. I did install sp1 RC though, before trying this fix. All I know is, I never set the value of that key to 190000, so it must be an update that did or something. Hibernate worked fine for awhile after I first installed vista. The same for you?
