As far as I can tell, the problem is that windows creates a file in the file system which holds all the contents of your RAM when hibernation is used. For some inane reason windows doesn’t know how to resize this file when your RAM size increases and so if you upgrade from 1GB to 2GB the file is now too small. I had this problem a long time ago on a laptop and i fixed it by disabling hibernation, rebooting, and then re-enabling hibernation. This seemed to delete the old hibernation file and create a new one with the correct size. Why windows can’t detect the RAM change and modify the file size is beyond me. Also, when I fixed the problem originally I used the Disk Cleanup tool to remove the hibernation file but I don’t think that is an option after SP2. Good luck!

Caused an error on next startup, restarted using ‘last configuration which worked’. Microsoft’s 909905 fix does not work, though it seems to sometimes lets the computer come back into windows rather than hanging in attempted hibernation. The extra gig appears to be more trouble than it was worth. Very little noticable speed advantage.

I occasionally got the problem with 1gig memory, but now have 2gig, and a regular problem. Will see if moving the pagefile helps.

I find a way to solve this problem. The xp set the vitrual memory(pagefile.sys) at the C: derive(windir). And if you reset the vitrual memory at D: derive and then you can hibernate successfully.

[...] Hibernation: Insufficient System Resources Exist to Complete the API by [translocator.ws] seems to be an ‘original source’ for much of the information that I found. [...]

BTW, this problem started when I upgraded from 2 to 4 GB. I thought Windows like memory???

I have a home built system with 4 GB of Corsair DDR2 6400 RAM. Hotfix will not install. Here’s what Microshaft has to say about that…

When you install this update, you may experience the following symptoms:
â€¢ You receive the following error message: Failed to migrate dependent packages.

You may experience this issue if Windows Internet Explorer 7 is installed. To resolve this issue, remove Internet Explorer 7, and then reapply the update.

So remove a Windows component to install a fix that might work or it might not. I hate Microshaft.

I’ve been experiencing this same annoying problem myself. Can’t Hibernate or Standby - ThinkPad T40p 2GB RAM.
