    Hi everybody!

    This weekend I started have a lot of problems when using hotkeys to suspend and/or hibernate my M115. Especially (or only?) with multiple users logged on.
    If I use fn + f2 to change power profile, then use fn + f3 or f4 to suspend/hibernate, nothing happens. After this, I was unable to shutdown or log of. I receive the message that process TFncKy isn't responding. And does not help tell to windows 'end now' the process: it simple not end. Control + alt + del stop to work, the process don't finish and I can't log off or shut down.

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Hotkey, but that doesn’t help. After think for a wile, I remember that I didn’t have this problem before install NIS 2007. So I decide uninstall it and test.
    Bingo! After remove NIS 2007 everything is working normal. I can suspend and/or hibernate my notebook again without freeze hotkey utility.

    Anybody is having the same problem? There is any solution, beside change the security software?

    Regards!
