Guest tek Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 When I click "Turn Off Computer" I use to receive 4 options: Hibernate, Stand By, Turn Off, Restart. For some strange reason after I had to reinstall XP Home on my laptop I only receive 3 options: Stand By, Turn Off, Restart. I've searched Google for some answers but the only one I found that is close to a resolution is to hold the SHIFT key while the mouse pointer hovers over the Stand By option to toggle the options. But how do I get the Hibernate option back fully without having to toggle it with the mouse and SHIFT key?
Guest RajKohli Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 RE: Turn Off Computer options missing "Hiberbate" Download the Hot Fix and Registry Fix from the following link: Hibernate as a Seprate Option Download Hot Fix Here Download Registry File http://mindyourbrain.1gig.biz/TipsandTricks/tipshome.htm First apply the registry fix. Click "Download Registry File" and click Run. You will be notify that the entry has been added to Registry. Secondly, click on "Download Hot Fix File", click Open and complete the Setup Wizard. Restart your PC and next time you will have the Hibernate button in Shut Down dialog box. You can also save both Registry and Hot Fix file for future use. Hope this help, let us know!

The hibernate option is back again.

Guest Ramesh, MS-MVP Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Re: Turn Off Computer options missing "Hiberbate" I use the shortcut keys CTRL+ESC-U-H myself, in order to put the system into Hibernation. But just in case, if you're an user who prefers mouse clicks instead of using the shortcut keys, then the Hotfix is very useful. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "witan" <tsr1936@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1191566957.593691.153330@k79g2000hse.googlegroups.com...
