Hibernation: Insufficient System Resources Exist to Complete the API

pianoOccasionally when I try to hibernate I receive an “Insufficient System Resources Exist to Complete the API” error message. When this happens I am forced to shutdown instead of hibernate.

This is a known issue for computers with 1 GB of RAM or more. Microsoft has a KB article about this. To obtain the hotfix Microsoft requires you go through Microsoft support which is a big pain so I have made it available here .
