Every time I try so, thorugh the Powermanagment Control Panle, Windows
returns the following Messag:
"Power Policy Manager unable to reserve hibernate"
"The Process cannont access the file because it is being used by another
process"

It is a Windows XP Professional installed on an IBM ThinkPad G40 Notebook.

Try booting up in safe mode as the Administrator or an altenative
account and see if you can activate Hibernate.

Try using the NET FILE command to see if it is being shared (which I
doubt will show much).

All else fails, locate the hiberfil.sys file (located in the root
directory) and delete it using DEL /F.

Make sure that you have enough free HD space for Hibernation. Just a thought!
