When you click Start, Turn Off Computer, you should see Stand By, Turn Off Restart. If your system is capable, when you press the Shift key, the Stand By button will turn into a Hibernate button and you can click it. If Stand By does not turn into Hibernate, check the Control Panel, Power Options and make sure that on the Hibernate tab, the Enable hibernation box is checked. Sometimes there are some other things that need to be done to get Hibernation to work. Report your results if you still need help.
From: Bob I on 22 Jan 2010 08:34 I don't have anything that old to check, but you could look to see if there are Power Management tabs in Device Manager for them.

From: Herzl Regev on 23 Jan 2010 19:33 My system shows less and less signs that hibernation is possible. I already tried to send it into hibernation from Start->Turn Off Computer + Shift, and it said that there are resources missing. After that, Start->Turn Off Computer + Shift doesn't offer a hibernation button anymore. And in Control Panel -> Power Options, I don't have a hibernate tab. In Power Schemes there is no mention of hibernation, and it seems to me that earlier it was there.

Did it really say "there are resources missing" or did it say "Insufficient System Resources Exist to Complete the API". This was fixed in SP3 and you say you have SP2, right? There is a hotfix for SP2 that might work if you don't want to download and install SP3: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909095 You can read about the reasons to upgrade to SP3 here and you can see SP3 includes the hibernation hotfix 909095. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946480 If you don't have a Hibernation option behind the Stand By button and there is no Hibernate tab, sometimes that is indication of a need to update video drivers. If you need help figuring that out, 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. For video driver information, expand the Components, click Display, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste the information. |
