hibernation problem due to NI services

[rfriedr1]

Hello friends,

I use the hibernation mode of my notebook to shutdown the system very often.
I restart out of the hibernate is normally no problem if I do it at the same day of hibernation. If I do it the next day "de-hibernate" needs several minutes compared to the normal "de-hibernate" at the same day (30 sec.).

The problem appeared after installing LabView8. I switched off all NI Services and running NI tasks before hibernation with the result that the hibernation worked fine again. Obviously Windows has a problem with hibernation and some of the NI services.
But I was not able to find out what service makes troubble because I have to wait a hole night for restart :-).

Any ideas?
Is it necessary to run all the NI services and task although LabView is not currently running? It's waste of system resources.

Thanks for help.

How much memory do you have installed?

Windows XP has hibernation problems if there is more than 1Gb of memory installed and certain programs are running (in my case LabVIEW or Adobe Acrobat).

I've been watching for a solution for quite some time now but it has not made it onto the scene yet.

I have 512 MB installed.
And it seems that it doesnt matter which programs are open at the point of hipernation. Just these NI services make trouble.
And why is it working to wake up Windows at the same day but not at the next day? Really strange!!

Is there a way to unload all services in an easy way?

Any ideas from NI?

The only known component that doesn't work with hibernation mode so far is the NI Keyboard driver that installs with LabVIEW DSC. Please refer to this link for further information.

Which services have you disabled?

I don't have any keyboard driver installed.
The first time I disabled all services. After that hibernation worked fine again.
I'm about to check the services. The last time I just disabled the "Time Synchronisation"-Service. No result. The same long wakeup time after hibernation.
I will disable the other services successively and hoping to find the one that makes trouble.
There is another task running but it's not a service - "nimxs.exe". I will test this task too.
Unfortunatelly all of this will take time.

Sorry friends for my delay. But my old Laptop crashed. Now it's out of order and I had to buy new one and reinstall everything.
And it's exactly the same problem as before. I tried to figure out what NI-service causes the problem but I was not able to do so. I have to spend more time on it.

And it shows that it was not related just to my old laptop. I relaised the same problem at another laptop I use in the lab.

But I realised the following. The time to wake up from hibernation depends on the time my Laptop was off, that means the time between hibernation and wake up. The longer the laptop was off, the more time it needs for waking up. That's why I ones realised the problem after one night of hibernation.

May this information helps?

Hi, Ronny

Hibernation worked fine until I installed LabView, as you.

But now works very fine again since I uninstalled Keyboard filter, following Jochen's link.

Did you try to repair NI installation?. In the Keyboard Filter appeared in the DSC section of National instruments Software.

Hope it helps,

Hi Aitortxo,

as I told before I don't have DSC installed. I could not find any keyborad driver filter in my installation.

But I will try to repair my installation of LV8 and hope the best.

Thanks so far.
