    I am using a standard windows firewall on my HP. When my pc goes into hibernation and i leave hibernation my computer warns me that my firewall is not on. Then it will turn back on. How do I fix this problem?

    Unless I'm misunderstanding you, there really isn't a problem. It seems to me you said that the PC goes into hibernation. Then you bring the PC out of hibernation. You get a message that the Windows firewall is turned off. You then get a message that the firewall has turned back on. Hibernation turns off all kinds of things (and keeps track) and then turns them back on when you come out of hibernation. It's just a bit of 'lag'... not a problem from what I can see. The only problem I see is: hibernation itself can cause problems (like lost files, lock ups or freezing, etc). Why hibernate? Just shut the PC off when it's not in use....
