I'm reopening that subject with perhaps new
evidence.

Overnight my system was prevented from going into hibernation
because WIA was invoked every hour, as seen in the Events
Log snip below. I have to assume that WIA is an important
service, but I'd like to know if it can be set so that it is
called every 3 hours instead.

The Image Acquisition service is used by scanners and cameras and the
likes to acquire images. Some multi-function printers refuse to work if
this service isn't running (even if you only print and never scan
anything). You said in another post that you have a web cam somewhere
on your network... I would look in that direction, turn it off and see
what happens.

Thanks, John. I'll remove the webcam from startup lineup
and see wha' hoppen. But to me, the key question is,
why every hour? And someplace it has to be *set* as one
hour, where is it, and why can't it be three hours?

The next time you decide to Hibernate, take a screenshot of your Task
Manager so we can see what is running.

There are lot's of things that are set to "do things" periodically -
too many to list.

You could also have a Schedule Task added by one of many software
packages.

Right click the Taskbar, choose Task Manager and select the Processes
tab.

Click View, Select Columns, check the box that says: Virtual Memory
Size. Expand the width of the Task Manager box so you can see all the
columns and processes.

Double click a column heading in TM to sort by the column. For
example, sort Task Manager by the CPU or Virtual Memory size column.

Take a screenshot of what you see in Task Manager (see below for
instructions).

Browse yourself over to where your Scheduled Tasks are:

c:\windows\tasks

Change the view to a Detailed View if it is not already (View,
Details)

Take a screen shot of the contents of that folder in Details view with
the columns widened (especially the Schedule column) so they make
sense and are readable.

To create and email/post/print a screenshot:

Press the Print Scrn button to copy your entire screen to the Windows
clipboard.

Press Alt Print Scrn to copy just the active window to the Windows
clipboard.

Open MS Paint:

Start, Program Accessories, Paint

When Paint opens, press CTRL-V to paste the clipboard, save the new
Paint file to your desktop or someplace you can remember. JPG files
take up less hard disk space than BMP files and just as readable.

Make as many screenshots as you need. Practice makes perfect. Be
careful your screenshot does not contain any personal information.
Practice viewing your images before you upload them to be sure they
are okay.

Some sites will let you attach a file directly to your post. If the
site has some kind of attachment/upload function it is usually easiest
just to use it.

If there is no such function in your message board to upload files
(there is not here), then use a free third party image hosting WWW
site.

Create a free account on some free picture hosting web site. You can
always remove your account later if you want. Here are some free
image hosting sites:

http://www.imageshack.us/
http://photobucket.com/

Using your free account, upload your screenshot(s) (the JPG or BMP
files) to the site and it will return to you a URL web address (a
Direct Link) for your new image(s) which you can paste the Direct Link
in a message post, email, etc.

When you are done, what you post for others to use should look
something like this:

http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/6530/taskmanagerv.jpg

So, what we need in return is two links to two screenshots!
