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.

I don't know, but on my laptops with ZoneAlarm installed, whenever I
wake up from hibernation I can never get a network connection

Also is there a registry key that makes hibernate the default option
when I shut down, like it is on my Dell?
