Problem with hibernation

There is some problem with hibernation, whenever I resume
the computer I need to use it quite quickly, at least press the
mouse or keyboard, or else the computer will rehibernate
after several minutes. Do I need to tweak the registry to stop
this annoyance?

No, you need to change the settings in Power Options.

Which one? You probably didn't fully understand
the question.

I have some clues:
I clearly remember that when I first bought my computer
this did not happen, so there are two possibilities, either
it was added by a later service pack or patch, or it was
added by new hardware, and I did add an ati aiw card
as well as a hauppauge card. Having searched google,
I found that at least one other person complained about
it when he used his computer as a pvr, so maybe this
is the link...
 
Did you look in Power Options at the one that is labeled "System
Hibernates", what is the time value in the box?
 
The knowledge base article indicates that the 5 minutes of no activity
is by design. The PVR issue was puzzling because the hard-drive accesses
should have been keeping the system alive.

This depends on how you define "no activity". The KB item
describes it as no input activity; in any case, any win2000
system will access the harddrive even when no user
programs are running due to system processes, and even if
it didn't, I didn't say that PVR was actually running, I only
said the hardware was installed.
 
I was referring to the PRV in "another person" thread you posted a link
to. If the system is waking up to record to the harddrive the constant
writing during the recording session should be preventing rehibernation.

You were talking about no recording going on, so no particular amount of
drive activity was taking place, so no reason for it to stay
unhibernated. The link shows what would trip it to stay "awake" longer.

I was asking if there is a way to stop this annoying rehibernation,
and if not, why not?
