    I do not understand the instructions above.  I have log on as an administrator.  Where exactly is the place to solve this problem?  Thanks a lot for helping me.

  Yes, Mr. Difficulté tried it 50202 and nothing worked.  I was looking forward to a solution, so I ended up doing a system restore complete with discs that I did when I had this computer.  Then I did an inplace upgrade.  Still so many problems.  After hours and hours, I finally got to meet up with a working computer.  Thanks for your help.  You know much more that I do all of this.

  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.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)

  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

I called them and they had me to do a full restore. (who's always there answering a problem) I did it because I didn't have a lot on my pc anyway. Everything was back to normal. I loaded up and everything was fine, I had to install the updates again and always work. but the second set of 2 or 3 update is where I ran into the problem again.
