Hello, This is the second time in the past year I had to do this and I cant
remember what I did to fix it. When I click the "round circle" hibernate
button it shuts down and the restarts again? Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks!
 
Well I had tried both sugestions and I cant get either to work. It now works
like this. If I priss the round button it puts the monitor into a sleep but
the PC continues to run and if I click the word "Sleep" it does the same
thing. How do I get the button to have the PC go into hybernation meaning
shut the PC down but save what I had open and what I was working on like it
was? Thanks!
 
Brink, well it works now. I tried the first link and typed the powercfg -h on
and tried it and it works now but whats wierd is I tried that before and
nothing happened and I even rebooted! Antway thanks for the help
everyone......
 
Let me try to help You, I’ve had this same trouble before:

Simply uncheck "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" for
your USB mouse and PS/2 keyboard under "Device Manager".

Vista has these options enabled by default and with some motherboards this
is a little bit annoying since this doesn’t enable the PC sleep or hibernate
correctly.

It worked for me. Let me know if this works for you.

I have one last question. How do I get the words hibernate in the list along
with switch user, log off, lock, restart, sleep and shut down? I also wanted
to know where is the option to change what you wanted that round button to do
either sleep or hibernate. Oh leandro my problem was fixed but I looked at
your solution and it is checked but I left it alone untill next time...Thanks!
