    right, I have these problems:
    1. Jumping out of hibernation without any delay (fans never go off) SOMETIMES
    2. Right clicking (sometimes allready here) and clicking run as administrator causes "Windows exploerer has stopped working. Searching for solution" and then winexpl restarts
    3. The driver from laptopvideo2go.com stops responding irregulary
    4. Bluescreen a few minits after enabling the camera:
    What Iv done:
    -Resetted BIOS and disabled TPM
    -Virus eg scanned whole computer
    -Rebooted 9999 times
    -Error scanned whole HDD
    -and prolly something more wich I dont remember

    Help pla :confused:

    Sounds like you got some trouble here.
    I got the same problems with the hibernation, tried closing the lid, pressing Fn+F2, and both of these options bumbs me right back into vista. But when i'm on battery this always seems to work (i have to do some more testing).

    Have you update vista?
    what GC-drivers are you running from laptopvideo2go.com?
    I think i read some things about bluescreen and the camera in some other thread...

    Try using the GC-drivers that was on the zepto cd and see if it still happends. Or just call zepto support for help.

    If this doesnt work maybe you should just reinstall your OS.

    Is this a preinstalled version of Vista that you got with your Zepto or a manual install ?

    Are you sure you installed the Vista32bit drivers on laptop2go ?
    If you were running winxp before, try uninstalling all the nvidia drivers, and reinstalling the right ones.

    It's really weird that you should have these problems. I have been using vista on my Z for months without any problems... except finding compatible drivers for my toucam pro II.

    I'm also having problems with Vista bouncing straight out of hibernation (although in my case everything does go off for a few seconds). Hibernation in XP is fine so it's not the hardware / BIOS.

    I had wondered whether this was caused by having the Turbo Memory driver installed but no working Turbo Memory. However, I got the TM working last evening but I've still got the hibernation problem.

    I think I'm going to do a clean Vista reinstallation.

    I have to check the driver from laptopvideo and try reinstalling it.

    Heres another problem I didnt remember earlyer:
    -Copying files can cause windows explorer failure


    I have the Vista preinstalled but i have the factoryreset cd thing, but I will try everything before i reinstall the OS, Dont have time to install all the software again.
    And btw, I think this update caused the problem (or after restart and succesfull install the problems began):
    Security update for XML Core Services SP 2


    And just so you know, The explorer and hibernation problems doesnt allways occur, but they are annoying as hell when they want to pick on me

    But one wierd thing is, that Iv never had the hibernaton problems in school?? The diffrence between the two locations is only that I use cable at home and wireless in school, but its not the cable that is the problem, Iv tried to remove it at hibernation but no diffrence :confused:???

    right, this time the driver seemed to be installed better than the last, and i havent got any crashes just yet (installed it today). But now the Windows explorer has started crashng more, now it sometimes crashes of just right-clicking and item on the desktop or pressing ctrl+c...

    Try a memcheck on your ram modules.

    I *think* I have identified the cause of my 6024W bouncing straight out of hibernation.

    The Intel Turbo Memory driver includes an older version of the Intel Matrix Storage driver. I deduced this after reinstalling Vista (with the latest Intel Storage driver) and having no hibernation problems, then installing the Turbo Memory driver (which warned about replacing a new storage driver but I let it do so). After getting the instant resume problem and much pondering, I reinstalled the latest Matrix Storage Driver and, so far, hibernation is behaving.

    I'm baffled that Intel haven't updated the Turbo Memory software to include the latest Matrix Storage driver. :mad:

    So, for anyone who has Turbo Memory, make sure you also have the latest Matrix Storage driver (7.6.0.1011 or newer) .

    Well given the problems you're encountering, if I was in your shoes that's what I would try. It doesn't take long and if it comes clear then at leat you've crossed outone explanation .

    well, its not the rams, it checked 350% of the ram-modules (wth?) and came u with no errors, runned chkdsk, no errors. But I just installed a software called WinOptimizer Platinum 3 ( http://www.ashampoo.com) from a DVD i got with a magazine a while ago. After the restart winexplorer didnt crash at the first ctrl+c as before, nor run as administrator :eek:

    Yet to test Hibernation, Results coming later (prolly tomorrow morning sometimes)

    Ok good then it's probably a software problem if it ever happens again.

    FYI : 350% means it ran tests that should statistically have checked all the ram 3.5 times.

    Kinda understood that :D

    But the hibernation problem is still there, and I tested some stuff, and it appeared to be that it hibernates properly if I hibernate it running batteries, but if its plugged in it resumes straight away

    As I noted, my immediate resume from hibernation problem seems to be fixed by making sure I have the latest version of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager loaded. It's worth a try, even if you haven't got AHCI enabled in the BIOS.
