| 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
