SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to resume your Dell Optiplex GX110 computer from hibernate mode, you may be unable to do so; or the computer may stop responding and display a black screen when you resume it. This occurs while you have the Sierra Studios Half-Life program running.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods:


 * If you are using Direct 3d hardware acceleration, click Half-Life on the taskbar to restore the game to full screen.
 * If you are using software acceleration and you have no sound when you resume your computer, go to the Sierra Studios Half-Life menu, and then restart the Sierra Studios Half-Life program.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
If Half-Life is configured for Direct 3d hardware acceleration, hibernate mode may suspend the computer properly, but the game window may be just a black area when you resume the computer.

If software acceleration is enabled in Sierra Studios Half-Life, hibernate mode and resume may function properly, but the game may not have any sound when you resume the computer.
