Very slow hibernation in Vista

Hi

Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this problem ? When I
reboot my system and then hibernate for the first time, it takes 30
mins to complete the hibernation and shut the PC down. When I resume
from hibernation and then hibernate again, it takes a more normal
couple of seconds. This problem has only started in last couple of
weeks. How can I find out / trouble shoot what's going on ?

My system is a Dell with 3GB RAM and Vista 32 bit (not SP1 yet)

Thanks



David

Just to add that the following information is in my Event viewer for
when the long hibernation finally completed:

This driver caused a delay during standby while servicing a device:
