Thanks for your post Elliot!

I disabled Symantec (removed from Startup and disabled services) on my T60p and my laptop will now resume just fine from standby and hibernate.

I have installed a free firewall (NetVeda Safety.Net 3.80.0001) to take Symantec’s place and very pleased so far. You can get it at majorgeeks.com (http://www.majorgeeks.com/NetVeda_Safety.Net_d5789.html) or snapfiles.com (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/netvadanet.html).

Exact same problem. Turning off wireless radio did not help. Turning off Symantec did the trick. What a shame that it used to work and something has broken it. Thanks for posting the issue.

Hey Elliot, i am seeing the exact same thing on my t60p and the two t60’s i just bought (vista factory new).
i have not yet tried the “turn wireless off” trick to see if that helps. will try the next time it happens.

thanks for your post…i couldn’t find any mention of this on the thinkpad support site…

Thomas, above, found that “when switching wireless off, it wakes from sleep.” You could try that, Arthur. Yes, uninstalling it worked for me.

Same deal… just got a T60 and the same thing happens. Never had a problem like this with any other computer, using the same Symantec offered by my school.

I can’t uninstall it now (can’t install/uninstall anything until finals are over).

Anyone find a solution other than uninstalling Symantec? Has uninstalling it worked so far?

And thanks for the info! Saved me hours!

Thomas, thanks for the tip. Turning off my wireless works!
