Guest Peter Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 I have XP Home SP3 on a Toshiba laptop. I have a graphics driver problem that happens when I start WMP AFTER resuming from Suspend. The problem does not occur if I resume from Hibernate. I know how to make the laptop hibernate: press the Shift key and press the Suspend button. However, is it possible to configure that Suspend button (maybe through the Registry) so that instead of suspending it hibernates? Thank you JB

Guest Peter Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Re: From Suspend to Hibernate Great, thanks. But what I meant was to reconfigure the Start/Turn off computer/ Standby button on the screen. Is that possible?

Guest Bob I Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Re: From Suspend to Hibernate Hold down shift and pick Hibernate instead.

Guest Peter Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Re: From Suspend to Hibernate Thanks Bob,<but that I know. Let's put it another way: how can I get rid of the Standby button altogether, so that only the Shut-down and Restart remain?

Yes they can be set to hibernate. -- Bill Black Asus EEE PC 4GB 2GB SoDIMM Adata 16GB Windows XP SP2 and Xandros Linux
Guest Peter Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Re: From Suspend to Hibernate No, I mean the Start/Turn off computer/ Standby button on the screen. I want to change the Standby to Hibernate, or failing that to grey-out (disable) the Standby button.

There is a registry hack to change the Windows XP menu to the classic menu where you have a drop down list. But Standby will still be in that list. But I don't know how to remove it. But I am sure there is a way to do it. -- Bill Black Asus EEE PC 4GB 2GB SoDIMM Adata 16GB Windows XP SP2 and Xandros Linux
Guest ju.c Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Re: From Suspend to Hibernate Follow these instructions: 1. Copy between the lines (below). 2. Paste into Notepad. 3. Make sure [HKEY_ . . . is one line. 4. Save-as HibernateButton.reg (or any name + .reg). 5. Double-click or right-click and merge into the Registry. 6. Log-off or restart. -------------------------------------------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\Shutdown] "HibernateAsDefault"=dword:00000001 "ShowHibernateButton"=dword:00000001 -------------------------------------------- ju.c "Peter" <abc@here.com> wrote in message news:OW2aZlh$IHA.1184@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > I have XP Home SP3 on a Toshiba laptop. > > I have a graphics driver problem that happens when I start WMP AFTER > resuming from Suspend.
