Workflow does not hydrate(wake up) after dehydrating(sleeping) to the Database)

Resolves the Issue: Sharepoint Designer 2007 Workflow Does not start after pause action (in technical terminology: Workflow does not hydrate(wake up) after dehydrating(sleeping) to the Database)

1. Installation of the .NET 3.0 Fix for the Windows Workflow Timer: the fix is available at the following site : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6096ce0f-d21e-47ac-afe2-d4e1c2fce670&displaylang=en 

2. Or go to command prompt: and type the following command 

stsadm –o –getproperty –propertyname “job-workflow” –url http://localhost 

     Then set the property to “yes” using the following command 

stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname "job-worfklow" -propertyvalue "every 1 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://localhost

3. The Third solution is to check the account under which the “sharepoint timer service” is running it should be similar to the account under which the “MS SQL server 2005 Embedded Edition Service” is running. If its different then change it accordingly, then restart the “Sharepoint timer Service”.Next find the” Windows Sharepoint Services Timer “ service And double click on it. Check the account 

4. Once you’ve checked the account for Windows Sharepoint  Services Timer. Then check the account for the “MS SQL server 2005 Embedded Edition Service” the same way .
