From: William B. Lurie on 28 Jan 2010 15:37 I reset the other options under Ctrl Panel>>Power Options and now Hibernate has vanished. How do I reset it to have all the basic options again? (Desktop system....). Thank you.

How do I reset it to have all > the basic options again? (Desktop system....). Thank you. Sounds like Hibernation use to work okay? What do you think has changed since the last time Hibernation worked? Any hardware/software updates lately? Misbehaving Hibernation is often a video driver that needs updating. If you need help with that, do this: Please provide additional information about your system: Click Start, Run and in the box enter: msinfo32 Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste the information back here. There will be some personal information (like System Name and User Name), and whatever appears to be private information to you, just delete it from the pasted information. This will minimize back and forth Q&A and eliminate guesswork. For video driver information, expand the Components, click Display, click Edit, Select All, Copy and also paste that information.

Thank you for the thoughts, Jose, but the only changes I've made were to try to reset the options within the Power Options section. I tried one thing and it brought the Hibernate option back, believe it or not. I restarted the system and allowed it to do chkdsk/r upon restart. I don't know what it found or fixed, but the Hibernate option is now back!!!! I'll let it run for a day or two before I report back on how it's playing. In the meanwhile, I think the "It ain't broke so don't fix it" philosophy might be appropriate. |
