You've misunderstood my (granted, abbreviated) explanation. Uninstalling AVG
does, in fact, solve the WAN driver interference with W2K hibernation
problem. And as I said, the same behavior occurs with a Portege 7010CT: prior
to
AVG-Free installation, problem-free W2K hibernation; afterwards, WAN driver
interference. BTW, there is mention of this problem on the AVG site, with the
recommendation to buy the commercial version, where the problem is "solved."
Guess it may be time to pony up for AV software.
