Guest franktee Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Have lost Hibernate icon in "turn off computer" and have read some of the N.G. advices that it would return by completely installing SP3. After installing SP3, hibernate icon did not return. Did I do something wrong? Thanks for any helpful advice. franktee

If it IS checked on, uncheck it, reboot, and then re-check it and see if hibernation returns. Is you computer a dual-processor / core system by chance? - Thee Chicago Wolf
Guest franktee Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Re: Hibernate and SP3 Hi TCW Thanks for your response. Have followed your advice but still no joy. I can view the hybernate icon by hitting shift button in standby. Can only view three icons at one time.. Standby, Turnoff, Restart. Originally was able to view four icons at one time. Hybernate, Standby, Turnoff, Restart. Am looking for the latter. Any suggestions? Also, my being a novice, I am unable to answer your question, re, dual processor/core system.
