Re: Hibernate vs. Standby and memory leaks

OK, I am back in business. Here we go:

* Bought a HDD enclosure that ran off of USB.
* Pulled the hard drive, stuck it in, and was able to save all my files,
especially the Outlook .pst.
* FOUND MY RECOVERY DISK FOR THE LAPTOP and recovered the system - took
about half an hour - yay!!
* Dumped all the files back onto the laptop - everything works!!!

Thanks to all for every bit of advice. I do appreciate it.

All,

Thinking out loud here and I am not a technician, so please bear with me.

I have an Averatec C3500 tablet PC runing XP Tablet Edition. I would
consider myself to be a power user, and the laptop gets used heavily and I
always have 5 - 6 apps open at a time, and multiple windows within those
apps (ie spreadsheets in Excel).

When I am not using the laptop, I usually set it to hibernate so that I
don't have to wait 5 minutes for it to boot up. I do this with all the
apps running.

Sometimes when the machine comes back up, it is very slow. If I kill some
apps it gets better some of the time but recently I notice that the
winlogon.exe process is eating up all the CPU cycles.

So - is it possible that when the machine is hibernating, any apps that
have memory leak issues are continuing to eat up my memory, and would
putting the machine in standby be any better?

And why does winlogon.exe suddenly decide that it needs the entire CPU
when I am already logged onto the machine?

Thanks for the input.
