hey there,
The other day i used a programme called 'Tuneup 2008' and it told me that if i deleted a programme called 'hibernate' i would have 600mb free on my hard drive, so i thought, "well, i dont use hibernate so this is fine"

However, when i put my comp into standby it wont come out, it just freezes.

Im guessing this is because ive uninstalled the hardware that saves the specified data in order for your computer to come out from standby?

so, what should i do? any programmes i could download.

Thanks for the help again

What OS you using and do you have the disc?

[Cartmanpwnsjoo]

Windows XP, and no i dont think i have the disk

Isnt what i need availble on the net?
The thing that brings comps in/out of standby is like a built in programme right?

If this is a desktop PC, set all power-saving to never ...

Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click Power Options ... set all to never

Check all the tabs and especially untick Hibernate.

Simply, it will stop you using standby mode, quite useless on a desktop PC ... IMHO.

Tune-up utilities are worthless, learn how to use your OS and all the "tools" are there.

Ye i see what your saying but what do you use other than standby?
I dont wana leave my comp on all the time so...

Any chance of getting standby back?

You shut the thing down......

Those 'tuneup' programs are as useful as a pile of doggy doo
