Try installing the newest video card drivers

go to control panel
power
and enable it there

Once you enable it in the control panel, I think you have to hit either the CTL or SHIFT button on the shutdown screen (the one with the shutdown, restart & standfby options) to reveal the hibernate button.

checked in the control panel/ power management,,, no hibernation option...

@rundell,, why would the video driver allow this option..

Install the newest video card drivers

**SAScooby** · 11-17-2004, 11:06 AM

check your BIOS

for S1 S2 S3 typically found under power management
once enabled there it will then be enabled under windows
by default your BIOS should support it

On most of the boxes I have built and installed I don't get the hibernation option on the default windows drivers. When I install the manufactures drivers normally I get that option
