No hibernate option

[William B. Lurie]

I reset the other options under Ctrl Panel>>Power Options
and now Hibernate has vanished. How do I reset it to have all
the basic options again? (Desktop system....). Thank you.

Are you saying that the "Hibernate" tab is missing from the Power
Options dialog?

Yes, exactly that.

Sounds like Hibernation use to work okay?

What do you think has changed since the last time Hibernation worked?
Any hardware/software updates lately?

Misbehaving Hibernation is often a video driver that needs updating.
If you need help with that, do this:

Please provide additional information about your system:

Click Start, Run and in the box enter:

msinfo32

Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select
All, Copy and then paste the information back here.

There will be some personal information (like System Name and User
Name), and whatever appears to
be private information to you, just delete it from the pasted
information.

This will minimize back and forth Q&A and eliminate guesswork.

For video driver information, expand the Components, click Display,
click Edit, Select All, Copy and also paste that information.

Just in case this applies:

I installed MagicJack phone and that removed the hibernate
function from my XP (mce). I am told that unplugging the
phone dongle (if that's the right term for the usb thingy)
hibernation will return.

Thanks, Jack. No, I have had no contact with MagicJack. I've
been an AT^T customer going back almost to the days when
the phone was on a wooden plaque on the wall, and there
were 'party lines'......I would feel lost without them.
Anyway (see my note) running chkdsk/r seems to have fixed it.
