    My brother's T42 laptop hibernates incredibly slow. Since it's not mine, I have no idea what he has done to it. It's running Windows XP if that means anything. Also, in an attempt to help it out, I used microsoft bootvis and I did some registry tweaks in the "XP guide" that had to do with shutting down. It takes 2+ minutes to hibernate. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    How much RAM does it have? The more RAM, the longer to hibernate.

    Perhaps DMA is not enabled for the hard drive.

    1.5GB RAM. DMA enabled.

    Anything else?

    If it helps you guys at all, it boots up decently quick and shuts down decently quick as well.
