Computer hangs going into Sleep or Hibernate mode after removing Norton, What can I do?

September 25, 2009

I have a Compaq Presario notebook running Windows XP Prof. I removed Norton using Revo Uninstaller which scrubbed the registry clean too. I also ran a registry cleaner to check for unwanted entries. But the system hangs going into sleep or hibernate. And I don’t dare using HP/Compaq’s system restore because it will just put Norton and a host of other unwanted programs back on my system. Did try using a legit copy of Windows XP Pro to try and do a repair but the screen keeps coming back that there’s an administrative password when there is none. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Turning off hibernate and sleep modes on a laptop is not really an option. Maintaining a windows session to move a laptop takes less time than shutting it down, rebooting, and finding all of the necessary files once more to show to someone. Sleep and Hibernate worked just fine while Norton was on the system.
