Re: ThinkPad 755C unable to suspend/hibernate with Windows95

[Michael Redmond <redmond@engr.wisc.edu>]

This is probably not the problem, but it may be difficult to get the
notebook to suspend if there is a network card installed. You must "shut
down" the network card from the PCMCIA utility before you suspend. If you
aren't using a network card, just disregard this :-)

Thanks
