Alright everyone,
I have Hibernation enabled on this computer (I'm on Windows XP Professional), yet I never knew how to use it until this day.
When I was reading my book "Laptops For Dummies", I learned that you have to press the SHIFT key in the Shutdown dialog box to make the "Stand By" to switch to "Hibernate", as shown :
Normal shutdown screen, showing the "Stand By" option on the left.
When pressing the SHIFT key, "Stand By" switches to "Hibernate".
The question that I have for all of you is this :
When I was doing a repair for a PC the other day, the person that I was doing it for had a brand new Sony Vaio laptop that was only about a week old. When I did a few quick Windows Updates for her (as a favor), I seen that there were 4 icons (side-by-side) showing, which includes the "Stand By", "Hibernate", "Shut Down", and "Restart". When I searched Google for a screenshot or instructions on to display all four at once, I found not one thing. Can anyone refer me to an article on how to make all four of these icons show simotaniously ? If anyone would be so kind to post a screenshot of the same thing that I'm describing if your system does this, that would be great.
This is driving me nuts, I'm sitting here pulling my hair out.
(If anyone was interested in giving the new thing I found out a go, make sure that Hibernation mode is turned on in the Power Options in your Control Panel).
- Mike.
