The last change on that piece of code was made by you under the comment:

     1) Disabled processor's _STA method should return 0 (this fixes Vista's
        BSOD on resuming after hibernate problem)

However, you did not changed it to 0, but to 9 instead. What did you meant?

It appears that windows won't accept bit 0 without bit 1 being set.

However, it works fine in my use case if _STA returns 0 or 8. The only real
problem is, as I said, setting bit 0 but not bit 1. Does any among 0 or 8
works for your hibernate use case?
