Help! My computer has lost the hibernation feature!

(1/4) > >>

urlwolf:
I have no idea why, but after installing all drivers from dell, I still don't get hibernation as an option. It's greyed out in the task manager, not offered in the window that shows closing options.

Anyone knows why?

Thanks

jgpaiva:
Try checking under the power options if hibernation is active (control pannel -> power options -> hibernate -> enable hibernation).

Darwin:
João's advice should set things straight under XP. However, I'm not sure about how hibernation is enabled/disabled under Vista. Are you running XP or Vista (just seemed prudent to ask...)?

Armando:
a year ago, I had a hibernation problem with XP. Can't remember exactly what caused it, but remember I had to install a patch from Microsoft to fix the problem.

lanux128:
try pressing the 'Shift' key when the Shutdown dialog is visible. sometimes this will change the Standby button to a Hibernate button.
