A fortnight ago this problem resolved itself and the machine hibernated normally, but has since reverted to its old form. It's not a disaster, as I have set up the machine to hibernate by pressing the on/off button, but it's not the same as just walking away from the machine and leaving it to switch itself off. Has anyone any ideas, please?

When the hard disc appears to be accessed the System Idle activity reduces momentarily from 99 to 89% but there is no observable increase in any of the other 40-odd processes listed, although I have noticed a small tweek in the jqs.exe activity from time to time. There is a spike in the Performance graph every 30 seconds, but the noise and light at the hard disc are every 5 seconds.

It may make it easier to spot the other active process.
In case you don't know , click on the "CPU" column header twice

So, as a quick check, to see if it is preventing hibernation, select jqs.exe in Task Manager and click "End Process".
Then wait and see if the hibernation kicks in at the expected time.

Applications that use Java will run OK without Java Quick Starter running, there may just be a delay when they start up.
As stopping Java Quick Starter seems to be the answer for the hibernation issue, I would suggest that you disable it properly as ending it with Task Manager only applies until the PC is next restarted. To disable it properly go to the Windows Control Panels -> Java -> Advanced -> Miscellaneous and uncheck the Java Quick Starter option.
I can't confirm if the last step is correct as it doesn't show up on my PC, but I haven't updated Java on my PC for some time and I understand that Java Quick Starter was added to Java earlier this year. I must watch out for that if I get round it updating Java sometime, as I also use hibernate on my PC. Thanks for the warning

Quote Russia-Warmest December
MOSCOW (AP) - The meteorological service says Moscow is experiencing its warmest December day in recorded history, preventing bears at the zoo from hibernating.
An unusual winter warm spell is sending residents out on the streets without winter coats and coaxing mushrooms out of the ground in nearby forests.
Moscow's meteorological service said Thursday the temperature rose to 10 degrees Celsius (50 Fahrenheit), balmy for a city famous for its winter snow and ice.
The average winter temperature is minus 4 degrees Centigrade (24.8 Farenheit.)
State television reported tha bears at the Moscow zoo are unable to hibernate. Moscow drivers are complaining about losing the metal studs on their snow tires on the city's snow-free asphalt.

Many thanks for your help, John and adiewoo.
Any chance of disabling this Java Update pop-up, which looks as though it's going to start getting on my nerves?

1. Disable the Java update reminder in the Java Control Panel.
Or
2. Apply the update.
Note that, if you want to apply the update, I seem to remember that the automated Java update may also installs other stuff like maybe a Yahoo toolbar, even if you don't want it. However if you go to the Sun Microsystems web site to download and install the Java update manually, I think you've a better chance of opting out of the "extra" downloads option.
