Works on this 70. Thanks for mentioning this - I'd never heard of this trick before. >I *never* try and hibernate win95 or 98 - it has never been reliable.

I never shutdown this machine unless it crashes, but I've learned from having had crashes in the past to take a number of precautions beforehand (all but shutting the machine down, when I think about it :-( ): - As mentioned above, don't move the mouse until it has completely finished resuming (i.e. after the screen has gone black and come back again) - Don't insert or remove PC cards while hibernated. When I'm using my Orinoco wireless LAN card, I find it best to stop and remove the card before hibernating. - Shut down almost all applications before hibernating, just in case you can't bring the machine back to life again. I'm also convinced that something on the L70 accessories disk makes it vastly more unreliable. Last time I reinstalled Win95 on this machine, I didn't reinstall any of the Toshiba disks except the floppy driver, and for several months I hardly had a crash when resuming. Recently I wanted more control over my battery life, so I installed the hairy light bulb and thought I might as well install the other 3 things on the same disk. Since then it crashes regularly when resuming (and I've had other problems: every time I rebooted I was told "Windows is setting up the following items" with no items in the list - that one only went away with some hacking of the registry). I'm not even sure what some of these utilities do - the Shutdown utility for example. This machine has always shut down OK without it, so what does it add?
