Press <Ctrl> key in shutdown box and Stand By option will be changed to Hibernate!

[shashank4u]

in the power options , advanced tab , use this setting
when i press power button in my computer :
select hibernate there.
so now when u want to hibernate, just press the power button ,quick and easy.

but to use that feature you will need to have power button on your keyboard I suppose... And i don't think that the logitech's basic multimedia keyboard has a power button on it.

there can be lot many problems for this like if u have installed a driver for ur mouse(logitech) u can face this problem u can also face this problem due toan old video card or any other pci card

[rakeshishere]

I think u have to install the motherboard utilities frm the cd given to u when u bought ur comp..

[Vishal Gupta]

If the Stand By option is also not available in the Shutdown box, then install/upgrade VGA drivers. If VGA drivers r not installed in system, then standby and hibernate options r not available!

Is turning off the monitor equal to hibernating in terms of power input ?

Nope, hibernating == complete shutdown in terms of power input i.e equal to zero .

problem with ur graphics driver....update or re-install.

@thetopcyborg..........
Plz. exchange the 2nd T with the P in ur name.............maybe then u will really laugh

[prashanthnbhat]

in win xp pro, you cannot hibernate if you are using the welcome screen and fast user switching. disable both and your shutdown dialog box changes to win me style and you'll get the hibernate option.

Did u read this post?

[Ben Jacob]

If U have Enabled hibernation in your system you can access it by pressing Shift key in Log off screen

[Vishal Gupta]

Its not logoff but shutdown screen...

but to use that feature you will need to have power button on your keyboard I suppose... And i don't think that the logitech's basic multimedia keyboard has a power button on it.

What he means is the power button on the cbinet and not on the keyboard...
