No, but I will next time around. What I see there most often, during
these test runs, is nothing related to the user except HpBootOpt, but
plenty of System and Local Service with many many 'svchost.exe',
none of which are under my control.

The sequence is, first desktop; then Screen Saver: then Monitor shutoff
(never), then HD shutoff (20 minutes), then System Standby (25 min.)
and finally hibernate (2 hours). After 2 hours or more have elapsed,
the mintor is in reduced power, the power-on light is flashing, and
that's all. It never goes to hibernate, which would be indicated by
the power-on light turning off.

I don't see the KLIF or ftsata2 driver on the sc query list that you
supplied... could be that they are on the clone but not on the
production machine, or that the sc command doesn't see these as
services. You can try these and see what it returns:

sc query klif
sc query ftsata2


We could also get the list of drivers with a different command:

driverquery >c:\drivers.txt

If you want to solve the problem you need to keep on investigating until
you find what it is that is running or starting and that prevents
hibernation, I don't know of an easy way to figure this out. Sometimes
you need dogged determination to get to the bottom of some of these
problems.

They're both there, John. One of them is:


SERVICE_NAME: ftsata2
TYPE : 1 KERNEL_DRIVER
STATE : 1 STOPPED

(NOT_STOPPABLE,NOT_PAUSABLE,IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 31 (0x1f)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
WAIT_HINT : 0x0
The other one reads the same but I misplaced it.....the
same except it said klif and one other change
(I think TYPE -------CONTROL).

It didn't recognize that command.

Oh, you're right, John. We've both invested too much
time and intellect in it, and I'd hate to drop it,
either. But, as I said, what next?
