I cant get my PC to hibernate!! I can get my brother's too, but not mine!! They say dat new PCs with have some kind of feature, but my PC was made in 1997! I have a feature in Win98 where you can push the power button and it sleeps, and in XP it does nothing. Hold it to shut down, but then I juts starts back up itself....

Any ideas??

Just a question...Why do you want it to hibernate?

It's faster to turn back on and if I am in the middle of something...

My laptop hibernates only when my battery runs out. I didnt think you could hibernate it instead of shutting it down!!

I wanna hibernate at any time!

dont think they do...

mainly ment for laptops but i know there are a couple computers that has it....... shut down is always the best hibernate is only there for people who use their laptop 4 or 5 times a day and need it to reboot fast yet save battery while in storage

i need fast reboot!!!!

I dunno why my current PC wont nibernate, but maybe my new one will..

czu ur screwed

did u try start:shut down:standby i think its the same as hibernating

yeh its faster to standby u can resume immediately

Standby sucks since it still runs!! I mean resume like a day later, also I use a USB HD and standby F#$%s the USB driver up....

Anywayz, I got a P3 computer now and maybe itll do it!





haha realy funny, Im not wasting my time, ill jsut say flaming and trolling are bad and if u keep this up either a mod will interfere and/or ill diss u out! Friendly warning!

hibernate would get annoying tho if it hibernates when you dont want it to then you have to wait a while..

i just realized in xp go to the standby and hold shift and instead of standby u can select hibernate

I read that but it still wont work, i have my XP w/ welcome screen off so it operates like a domain! On y bors PC hibernae is by shtdown restart, etc in a pull down menu when u press control alt delete..
