I am using IBM T42 laptop computer, Windows XP Professional + Service Pack
2, 1.5G Memory, 3G free disk space.

Sometimes when I try to hibernate (One of 3 tries) I get the following
message:
Application popup: Windows - System Error : Insufficient system resources
exist to complete the API.

I found a post sp1 fix for this issue... but SP2 should have already
resolved it.
( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;330909 )

I've seen that others have this problem but could not find a fix.

Does anyone have a clue of how to solve this issue?

Best Regards,
Alon Bar-Lev.

Installing a bigger HDD might help. Hibernation saves everything in
memory
to your hard disk.

Thank you Bunny,

But the hibernate file always exists on the %SystemDrive% at %RAMSIZE% size
so that disk space will not be an issue when trying to hibernate.
Anyway... I also tried to free disk space... and it still does not work.

Increase virtual memory to 3 GB or set to system managed.
There has to be enough VM for whatever was in the swapfile
plus all of the RAM.

Thank you Jim,

My virtual memory is already 3G....
Are you aware of a problem of XP to handle more than 1G of memory?

Best Regards,
Alon Bar-Lev.

Do not

The hibernation process leaves the page file alone, and it is not added
to the hiberfil.sys (and is probably bigger than needed anyway - 3GB
without evidence of need for that much paging is absurd)

The hibernation file is *just* bigger than RAM, for all the content of
RAM to be dumped to it at Hibernation - no more.

What I would do is go to Control Panel, Power Options, Hibernation, and
uncheck to disable. Then OK, reboot and start it over with a fresh file
