Hibernate DISABLED

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Folks,

Searched all over the net and got no solution yet.

In my win xp PRO the stand-by/hibernate option in the shutdown menu is
not available. I mean, it's not clickable, can't even use shift.

The fact is that there's no hibernate tab in the energy options in
control panel.

The BIOS options are all fine, and the previous installation of the
SAME windows xp pro in the SAME computer with the SAME configuration
was working just perfect.

Any clues??

The lack of a Standby button indicates you are using XP's
generic VGA drivers.

Your video adapter drivers probably need to be reinstalled.
Visit the support web site of the manufacturer of your video
card adapter and download the latest drivers.

Before installing them, uninstall the old drivers. In your
Control Panel, open the Add or Remove Programs applet
and look for your video drivers to uninstall.

If you happen to have a notebook computer, visit the notebook
manufacturer's support website to download the correct video
adapter drivers for your specific notebook model.

After installing a fresh set of drivers, right-click on your
desktop and select Properties > Settings, change the Color
Quality to "Highest (32 bit), then adjust your Screen Resolution
to your liking, then click on Apply.

Try this: "Unable to Use Power Management Features"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=302414).
