    Got a gigabyte or more of memory? Get this fix.

    For a long time, when asked for an example of bad error messages, I've quoted "Insufficient System Resources Exist to Complete the API". -- Which resources? How many do you need? I have flippin' gigabytes of memory and oodles of disk space... what's the problem? Oh, and by the way, which API? 
     
    Now, my loyal reader, you either know *exactly* what I am talking about, or you have never heard of it. The first group has a laptop or tablet with a large amount of memory and tries to hibernate... often unsuccessfully. I'm pleased to be able to tell you that the problem is fixed!  
     
    Microsoft has released a supported hotfix and a KB article, which you can find here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=909095
     
    I was fortunate enough to be in the pre-release test group for the fix, and I have not had a failed hibernation since installing the hotfix, it seems very stable, and I recommend it.
