EV>I have been using the Hibernate option when I turn my XP computer OFF.   
      
   EV>When I turn the XP box ON the next time the Monitor shows me the POST   
   EV>information, the Time Line on the bottom of the screen shows it is   
   EV>reading the Data it stored on the HDD and then it will show the Log On   
   EV>Screen so I can sign on and use the computer.   
      
   EV>Just before I see the Log On screen I sometimes see the Hibernating   
   EV>Screen that I saw when I selected Hibernate on the previous Shut Down.   
      
   EV>Several times recently when I have Turned the XP computer ON again,   
   EV>I see the Monitor shows me the POST information and the Time Line on   
   EV>the bottom of the screen and then it goes Dark and Stays Dark and never   
   EV>shows the Log On screen.   
      
   EV>I've tried clicking the Cursor Arrow keys, Shift Key, Insert Key,   
   EV>Page Up, Page Down, Home, End Keys and even tried ALT F4 but nothing   
   EV>shows up on the monitor screen.   
      
   EV>I haven't pressed the Enter Key because I have no idea if there may be   
   EV>some Code that it would cause to Run.   
      
   EV>I have allowed the Dark Screen to remain showing for twenty minutes   
   EV>just thinking the computer will get its act in order and let me Log On   
   EV>and use the thing, but I've learned when the screen goes Dark after the   
   EV>Time Line scrolls from Left to Right to press the Power Button and Hold   
   EV>it in for a few seconds to Turn it OFF and them press the button to   
   EV>tart it up again.   
      
   EV>I see a message about a problem with restarting the computer and have   
   EV>tried to let it restart from the Saved Data but I see the same Dark   
   EV>Screen again.   
   EV>So I select the other option to delete the Restoration Data and BOOT   
   EV>normally.   
      
   EV>I can still use Windows Updates to get Windows Defender and MSRT when   
   EV>Woody at askwoody.com says to update this XP box.   
      
   EV>Anyone have any ideas why my XP SP3 Media Center Edition pc is doing   
   EV>this?  Thanks.   
      
   I belive it is doing that because you are Shutting off the computer   
   power while the computer is in hibernate.   
   You should NOT do that. Wake up the computer and then do a standard   
   shutdown before cutting the power
