can't get comp to hibernate

[Steve C-R]

I have been into the command console and used the powercfg /hibernate on and
powercfg /-h to no avail.

I don't think I have removed anything, and I use hibernate a lot, but it
wont turn the pc off and fully hibernate.... just turn the screen off....

Can someone help please?

The Hibernate option is not available in Windows Vista:

set to hibernate, but I don't have hibernate available in the power menu.

you might try Standby
seems like a good alternative [for me anyway]

right, as it wasn't clear exactly on the process on microsofts KB article, I
did a little hunt....

enter the cmd window

powercfg /hibernate on
exit

restart pc

cmd

powercfg -h on
exit

restart

all done now
