Comment on Fixing Hibernate Problems in Windows Vista by Raghu

I have the same problem, I was using Hibernate for a while but all of sudden it stopped working and even though the Hibernate option is shown its not working. If I use that option its simply shutdowns and when I start the system, its says improper shutdown. I have tried all the above options, but in vain, any ideas?

I read your article for installing xamp and i installed successfully but when i want to connect to phpMyAdmin i get the following error please help me urgently

Error
MySQL said:

#1045 – Access denied for user ‘root’@'localhost’ (using password: NO)
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

The post is a couple of years old now. They’ve probably made some changes to the install process. I should think about updating it at some point.

Vista Keeps Waking Up From Hibernation

First solution did work for me for the third issue posted above.

If your computer wakes up at a consistent time, make sure there are no scheduled tasks (Start menu -> search for “task scheduler”)

That time I found 12 scheduled tasks.

I disabled everything which includes:

1. Two Real player tasks …
2. One task for SKYPE
3. Five Google Tasks
4. Some of system automatic schedule tasks

basically everything that I saw on task scheduler…

Then hibernated computer… whala…

I was planning already to do system restore 16 days before, but because of you guys, no need for me to do that.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks…………………………

Best Regards,
