Hibernate problem

[Tristan]

when i first got this computer, i had the shutdown
options, hibernate, shut down, restart.

but recently the hibernate option has faded itself out.
i tried to turn the option back on but the checkbox is
faded out aswell.. what happened to make it go away?

Perform a repair install to get the standy/hibernate option back. I
experienced the same problem and was resolved after a repair install. I'm
not sure if there is another easy method:

To reinstall - repair XP without data loss:

Configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive. For more information
about how to do this, refer to your computer's documentation or contact your
computer manufacturer. Then insert your Windows XP Setup CD, and restart
your computer.

When the Press any key to boot from CD message is displayed on your screen,
press a key to start your computer from the Windows XP CD.
Press ENTER when you see the message To setup Windows XP now, and then press
ENTER displayed on the Welcome to Setup screen.
---------------------------------------------------------
Do not choose the option to press R to use the Recovery Console.
---------------------------------------------------------
In the Windows XP Licensing Agreement, press F8 to agree to the license
agreement.
Make sure that your current installation of Windows XP is selected in the
box, and then press R to repair Windows XP.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete Setup.
