hibernate

[Dave Smith]

My Hibernate works. My question is this....When clicking on start>> Turn
off computer....I have 3 choices log off, shutdown, restart. Hibernate
used to be there. How do I restore this please.

Go to Start > Turn Off Computer and press your
Shift key. By doing so, the Standby button changes
momentarily to Hibernate, then click the Hibernate
button.

Are you reporting what's actually there?

I see Stand by, Turn off, Restart. I do _not_ see "log off" nor
"shutdown". Please be careful to reproduce messages _exactly_ in
future -- it can make a difference in whether we can help you.

Assuming that the dialog says what I think and not what you said,
press the Shift key and Stand By becomes Hibernate.

Like I say I see 3 choices 1. log off 2. shutdown & 3. restart.
Hibernate used to be there, to the left of log off.
Yes I am aware of the shift key trick. (That's why I said first "My
hibernate works."

I really do appreciate the suggestions, but there is a setting somewhere
that got changed. (I obviously have a check in the power setting dialog)

thank you

I'm completely stumped. Perhaps you have some sort of virus. I've
never seen those three choices in the dialog you say you invoked; and
I've never seen Microsoft use "shutdown" as one word in XP.

Are you set up in a domain or a workgroup? I'm grasping at straws
here, but maybe that makes a difference.

Hello Dave, i swear i got the same problem, used to see 4 buttons as well,
when i click on shut Down in start menu and they'd be in this order.
"Hibernate...Stand By...Shut Down...Restart, but now the Hibernate has
disappeared, don't know where it has gone but i would love to get it back.
Can any one help

See the article that was quoted in the previous post.

When you click “Turn Off Computer†on the Start menu, the Hibernate button does not appear in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005:

As the article states, contact Microsoft to get the hotfix that will add the Hibernate button to the shutdown menu. You will not be charged for the support call since it is a bug fix.
