Start program upon resume from hibernate using VBS or service

Our application needs to check device status upon poweron, meaning it
has to start fresh from every resume. In Windows 2000, I'm
successfully doing this using the following script:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set colMonitoredEvents = GetObjects("winmgmts:")._
ExecNotificationQuery("Select * from Win32_PowerManagementEvent")

Do
Set objLatestEvent = colMonitoredEvents.NextEvent

Select Case objLatestEvent.EventType

Case 7
oShell.Run """C:\share\startprogram.bat""",0,False

End Select

Loop
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even if I use a simple msgbox "Test",,"Test" in place of the oShell.Run
there is nothing that occurs upon hibernate or resume. In win2K this
program spawns the application upon resume. What component could i
possibly be missing from my build configuration in Target Designer?

Also, I originally tried writing a service to handle this. It
registered itself using
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
service->m_statusHandle = ::RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx(
m_name.c_str(),

&n_ServiceCtrlHandlerEx,

(LPVOID)NULL );
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

was brought up with the following
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
service->m_status.dwCurrentState = SERVICE_RUNNING;
service->m_status.dwControlsAccepted = SERVICE_CONTROL_POWEREVENT |
SERVICE_ACCEPT_STOP | SERVICE_ACCEPT_SHUTDOWN;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and the control handler had the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DWORD WINAPI StartTS::n_ServiceCtrlHandlerEx( DWORD nControlCode,
DWORD dwEventType,
LPVOID lpEventData,
LPVOID lpContext)
{
StartTS *service = GetHandle();
// What to do?
switch( nControlCode )
{
case SERVICE_CONTROL_POWEREVENT:
Beep( 1500, 100 );
Sleep(500);
Beep( 1500, 100 );
break;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, that event never triggered - even though the service was
installed and worked otherwise. Any suggestion how to get either of
these methods to work, or a simpler solution that I'm missing? Once I
do that, I need to set the HORM state with only the bare shell (no task
manager, control window, or explorer window open).

Thanks,

Resolution, in case anyone searches, finds this topic, and needs it:
Using the XPEPM application does not send any power management events
to WMI. I wrote a very simple program that waits 30 seconds and then
hibernates the system.

Now I have another problem. WMI does not broadcast the resume from
hibernate flag until the mouse moves. This indicates the system needs
an interrupt to know it's "awake".

Suggestions?
