No, actually, it's been buried because "Sleep" is now a hybrid of
Hibernation as well as Standby, and is going to end up being used the
most -- not to mention faster overall than Hibernation in terms of time it
takes to get the system back up and running.
 
You can also start a command prompt as Administrator and run

"powercfg -h off"
 
I was just about to say that ;o)

I'm unable to use Hibernate or Sleep as they both switch off the screen on my
notebook, but the PC remains on in an apparent crashed state. The only way
for me to get out of this state is to hold the power button down until the PC
switches itself off. When it restarts, Vista is restarted - losing all my
work.

Any ideas?
 
Hi.

Try this, go to start menu > All Programs > Accessories, click Command
prompt, close the window close the start menu, You may see it in your
program list. Right click and select RUN as administrator, close it, open it
again and type powercfg -h off.
