Under Windows 98, Me, or 2000 there was an option in the shutdown dialog box to enter the computer into hibernation (where all the content of the RAM is copied to the hard disk). The shutdown dialog box of Windows XP doesn't offer any longer the hibernation button. Some users may get confused about how to enable the hibernation mode. If this mode is supported by your motherboard (ACPI) you have to do the following:
1. Click 'Start' and 'Shut Down',
2. Point to the 'standby' button and maintain the 'shift' key pushed
3. A new 'hibernate' button appears instead of 'standby': click it while still holding the shift key: now your PC will hibernate.
If you can't see this hibernate button still, in your system hibernation may not be activated. To activate it:
1. open 'desktop properties' window from the right click pop-up menu
2. Select screensaver tab and click the power button
3. Under a 'hibernate' tab you will see a check box to enable hibernation. Enable it and apply/save the changes.
If you still donot see the hibernate tab in the afore mentioned window, either your motherboard do not support hibernation or you haven't installed the drivers properly.
