How This Tip Works
Under Windows 98, Me, or 2000 there
was an option in the shutdown dialog box to enter the computer into
hibernation (where all the content of the RAM is copied to the hard
disk). The shutdown dialog box of Windows XP doesn't offer any longer
the hibernation button. Some users may get confused about how to
enable the hibernation mode. If this mode is supported by your
motherboard (ACPI) you have to do the following:
- Click Start and
Shut Down,
- Point the
standby button and maintain the shift key pushed,
- A new
hibernation button appears: click it while still holding the shift
key: voila your PC will hibernate.
