hibernate, damit! or a nice tool called wizmo...

it's a multiuse tool I just found because my 2gb laptop often doesn't obey orders and doesn't like to hiberate, even after installing M$ patches that supposedly fixed that! (

Example: wizmo hibernate.

the nice thing is that you can _force_ the command: wizmo hibernate! (aka: hibernate, damit!) :) .

It does understand other commands (see website).

If you have multiple monitors, this might help as well.

f0dder:
Hm, if regular hibernate doesn't work but forced does, you probably have some application that blocks the process for some reason or another. Might be a good idea locating which piece of software this is, so you avoid problems.

(wow, I wrote a post in a thread related to Steve Gibson without flaming him!  :o ).

Nighted:
Flame on!!!!

Anyway, this Wizmo doohickey seems very interesting. I will play around with it a bit later.

I wonder could you use something like that in conjunction with Autohotkey -
in order to make keyboard shortcuts for some of it's various commands - or would there be an easier way ?
