Windows
98 Hangs During Suspend
|
This is due to
an obscure bug, which exhibits
itself when the path specified for
the swapfile in the [386Enh]
section of the System.ini
file includes a lowercase drive
letter.
The name of
the swapfile used by Windows 98 can
be changed by adding a PagingFile=
line to the [386Enh] section
of the System.ini file. If
the path specified for the swapfile
includes a lowercase drive letter,
it can cause Windows 98 Second
Edition to occasionally hang during
a suspend.
To fix
this:
- Select Start
> Run and type msconfig
in the Open: box, then
press OK
- Select
the System.ini tab
- Click
the + sign next to the [386Enh]
section to expand it
- Select
the line PagingFile= and
click Edit
- Change
the lowercase drive letter to
uppercase
- Click Apply
and OK
- When
prompted, restart your computer
When you
try to resume your computer from
Suspend mode, your computer may take
30 seconds or more to resume. This
behavior can occur if you have a
network adapter that is not attached
to an active network connection.
When your
computer enters Suspend mode, the
drivers for your protocols are
unloaded. When you try to resume
your computer, Windows attempts to
load the drivers for your protocols,
and then bind them to the network
adapter. If an active network
connection is not found, a time out
occurs and causes the delay.
To resolve
this behavior, you either have to
connect to an active network
connection, or disable your network
adapter:
- Select Start
> Settings > Control Panel,
and then double-click System
- Select
the Device Manager tab,
double-click the Network
Adapters branch to expand
it, and then select your network
adapter
- Select Properties,
click to select the Disable
in this hardware profile
check box, click OK
(twice), and then click Yes
to restart your computer
