Automatic System Hibernation Fails if Winamp is Loaded

FireWalker877 · 9th March 2009, 04:22

Hey guys,
I have searched the forum for information regarding my issue, but have found no solution.

Here are a few system details:

OS: Windows Vista Business
Sound Card: Creative X-Fi Platinum
Screensaver: None
Sleep Mode: Disabled
Hybrid Sleep: Disabled
Wake on LAN: Disabled
Automatic Hybernate after 60 Minutes

Winamp v5.55
Watch folder scanning: Off

Now, as far as system hibernation goes, everything works properly UNLESS Winamp is open. There doesn't even have to be a file playing, the system will not hibernate automatically. If I manually enter hibernation mode, I have no problems. I don't know if Winamp is just keeping Windows from registering in an idle state or what, but it is running up my power bill. Please post any possible solutions or if there are any further details you need to understand my problem.

Thanks for the help!
Charlie

Please attach your "List Of Plugins",
and a HijackThis log in the same zip wouldn't go amiss.

More than often, issues like this are caused by some old/dodgy/incompatible 3rd-party plugin.
