  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  Hi, thanks for the comments.

  I tried the method, but it has not fixed the problem.

  With respect to method 2, I bought the laptop with Windows 8 by-installed, so no DVD with the software.  I made contact with the distributor of the computer (Samsung), but the first reaction was to get a new version of Windows 8.1 and as they say, the unique language of Windows 8, which has been installed, although the real is a 'gift' and therefore they cannot provide the DVD.  I contacted both Microsoft and there response also had to buy a new license.  I can not fully used this problem as the update seems to be 'corrupted '.

  I noticed that the Proxy has been set to auto detect the Proxy settings.  I turned it off and some of the patches installed.  However, most hotfixes do not install and the same issue occur when trying to install.

  I always do if something goes wrong.

  Kind regards.

• Cannot install the Windows Fax Service

  I used to have a FAX in Control Panel > printers and Faxes screen, but I no longer. I went to control panel > Add/Remove programs/add Windows components and some Fax Services. The installation process starts and a Fax icon appears on the screen with my other printers. Until the installation finished, however, this fax icon disappears.

  I check start > all programs > Accessories > communications > Fax but the menu drop-down should be, he's not here, and the box says just (blank).

  I recently installed a new Canon printer that has the ability to "Fax From a Computer" that allows me to send faxes directly from a document using the modem in the PC. I think the only action of the Canon printer is made that a fax has been sent.

  After I installed the Canon printer I got a Canon Fax icon both Windows Fax icon, but I had a problem of phone and none of them worked. I have fixed the problem of telephony and the works of Canon Fax function in the computer, but I get the problem described above, when you try to install the Windows Fax.

  Is there something that prevents the addition of a second Windows fax service?

• Cannot install the Windows SDK

  I try to install the Windows SDK for Windows 7 with .NET Framework 4 on a DVD.  Installation takes place in short a while then Setup stops and inflicts a cleanup at the.  I get a window "Installation Failed" with a message telling me to "refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm document for more information."  However, the cleaning process removes this document so it is impossible for me to see.  I saved the log file "SDKSetup_7.0.6918.0.log" but it's over a length of 1000 rows.  I'll be happy to send it to you if you wish!  I have made several attempts to install from the DVD I burned the ISO file downloaded and on the web.  I get the same result every time.  What do you suggest me?

  I found through research more than others have discovered that the SDK will not install anything it either if it finds a later version of the redistributable C running pre-installed libraries.  I had to uninstall the C libraries, then install the SDK and then do a MS update to get the latest patches for the runtime libraries.  Frankly, it seems pretty stupid to me.  At the very least, the installation should give a comprehensible message on why it would not be installed.
