I've read the forums, but my feeble mind is having a melt down dealing with work related matters.I tried entering the command to activate hibernate which I turned on in my BIOS yesterday, but still doesn't work ****.I also went into power settings to see what the status was and it looks as the way I had it setup previously with the first build of Win7 I used.The machine starts to shut down then gets reactivated somehow, you can hear the HDs shut down fans shut off then bang it's up and running again,it maybe in sleep mode, but it sure sounds as if the HD's are running let alone everything else.***When I tried the command I got "do not have permission to enable or disable hibernate" as a response. I was in my admin account!?I am using 7100 buildupgradedfromthe first beta

Open the command prompt as administrator (right click on the command prompt icon and select "Run as administartor".)

I had this exact problem and the culprit ended up being that other computers on the network were waking it up. The answerwas to disable the ability for your LAN adapter to wake the computer.Device Manager --> Network Adapters --> <go into the properties of your LAN card> --> Powermanagement TabClear the "allow this device to wake the computer" checkbox and you should be home free.Now there is a chance you have some media streaming support keeping your box away as well. Check your Device Manager again and look for an Away Mode Driver (usually under other devices). If that's present that can prevent your computer from hibernating and should be disabled in your system BIOS (exact feature in the BIOS changes form machien to machine).

Hi, When the popup expiration warning started, I went to the site downloaded the software to aportable HD, clicked install. It didn't ask to reformat or do a clean install and also didn't see any warning to do a clean installon the MS page as it did when I downloaded the first ver. Other than this minor glitch the O.S.seems to be operating better than the first ver.I had problems with volume control,network and action center with previous install which had to be corrected by opening another user account.
