Hibernate was there - and now gone

[Guest]

My new Vista Ultimate 64 was able to hibernate, I could use the hibernate in
startmenu and in the energy-settings for the power-button and so on.

Since a few days (I can't say exactly) these point are gone, only standby is
available and even the file hibernate.sys has vanished...

What could happend, and much more important: How to get back the hibernation?

from command promt (start as Administrator) try this:
powercfg.exe /hibernate on

interesting.

If you have 4GB of ram you are right at the point where hybernate is turned
off due to the size of the hibernate file. If you added a video card that
might have done it since the hiberfile contains the contents of memory plus
the video ram. Try running "powercfg -h on" to turn it on. You may have to
run "powercfg -h off" first.
