I have a Dell Dimension 4600 with a P4 and 2 gb of RAM, running Windows XP
home edition, SP3.

I have tried using the hibernate function but it does not respond. I have
gone into the power options settings and confirmed that hibernate mode is
enabled. Yet when I try to put my machine into a state of hibernation, it
does nothing (I'm using the Start/Turn Off Computer/<shift> Hibernate
function.

Thanks to the community in advance for any suggestions or advice. It's
appreciated...

This article may apply in your case:

"Hibernation problem on computers with 1 GB of RAM"

It's unlikely that you're running an old version of Nero, but that is
also known to prevent Hibernation.

Thanks Leonard for your input. Unfortunately, this article does not apply to
my machine since I mistakenly stated that I was running 1 GB of ram when, in
fact, I have 2 GB of ram.

I'm looking into the possiblity of updating the BIOS....

Thanks,
Mark

The article does not apply to 'exactly' 1GB of RAM. Obviously, a
computer with 2GB of RAM also has 1GB of RAM. But you're welcome anyway.
