Problems hibernating Win XP SP2 with greater than 1GB of memory

Maybe you have experienced this issue. Your laptop (or desktop) PC has 2GB or more of memory, running Windows XP SP2, that is set to hibernate after, let's say, 2 hours.

When the system attempts to hibernate, you get a popup informing you that Windows has "insufficient system resources to complete the API".

Well, fret not, for there's a good blog post on the subject with links to a fix over at Coding Horror.

Definitely, a recommended download for any Windows users who hibernate their XP SP2 system that has more than a gigabyte of memory.

Oh and I also agree with the author's assertion that it is ridiculous that we must call Microsoft in order to download some hotfixes. I've never quite understood why they do this with some of their hotfixes while most patches are pubicly available for download on their site.

My HP Omnibook 6000 with 384Mb Ram Hibernates in approximately 8 minutes. My older Notebook Hitachi 128Mb ram hibernates in less than 1 minute. Both were timed without any program in operation when invoking Hibernate.

Why can't the Omnibook hibernates faster?
