(Desktop system....). Thank you. Just in case this applies: I installed MagicJack phone and that removed the hibernate function from my XP (mce). I am told that unplugging the phone dongle (if that's the right term for the usb thingy) hibernation will return. Jack from Taxacola (formerly Pensacola), FL

No, I have had no contact with MagicJack. I've been an AT^T customer going back almost to the days when the phone was on a wooden plaque on the wall, and there were 'party lines'......I would feel lost without them. Anyway (see my note) running chkdsk/r seems to have fixed it.

I'll check it out - that is one of my copy/paste instructions and is probably has considerable age. General purpose questions will get copy/paste from me most of the time. I sure don't type all that stuff in every time! I added it to avoid the situations where the splash screen used to come up and then the user would not know what to do next. Since it must have come up at some point, for me in the past, I added it to be sure the extra question about what to do never gets asked again. It is like what Twayne said - eventvwr.msc should work, but I have found it doesn't always work so I will try to make my suggestions to apply to as many situations as possible and eliminate any possibility of any future questions due to unclear instructions. I am not a "might work, try this, maybe that" kind of person! Did you get your MagicJack hibernate thing figured out? There is quite a bit of Internet chatter with various methods on how to deal with it.
