I set my wife's PC (XP SP3) to hibernate after 1 hour, but it doesn't do it.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

the computer be idle for
a period of time.
it could be that your pc
is actually busy and not
idling.
Hello:
I have a similar case where the Win XP PC usually does not go hibernation
(or stand-by when I have tried that), even though I have set it in Power
Option section of the Control Panel that hibernation is enabled. The PC will
go into hibernation (or stand-by) if I manually select that. Does that imply
that there is a background process going on that prevents the hibernation
feature to recognize that the PC is idle?
Thanks,
Jerry

Test the mechanism by hibernating manually.
Click Start, Turn Off Computer and you can see the various options -
one of which is Stand By.
When you press the Shift key, the Stand By button should turn into a
Hibernate button Hibernate is clicked, the system should hibernate.
What are your results?
Thanks for your reply.
Manual hibernation works.
What next?
I better try and understand the tips you mentioned in your other replies
