How to enable "hibernate" choice at shut down.
When I go to "start" and "turn off computer" I only get three choices in
the "turn off computer box". They are from left to right "standby", "turn off" and "restart". How do I enable "hibernate" as one of my choices? My computer says that I can enable hibernation in my "power options" and I have ticked the box accordingly. Also I cannot configure my sleep button to work since it is a Logitech Internet Keyboard in which the sleep button does not work under Windows XP but I would like to allow my computer to go into hibernation nevertheless Asus P4T-E, 512 megs RDRAM, Windows XP Pro.

How to enable "hibernate" choice at shut down?
You don't wake the system from Hibernation, you boot. Hibernation allows
you to shut the system down without closing your applications, allowing you to start from wherever you left off before shutting down. Standby would be the equivalent of putting the system to sleep and the system should come out of standby mode with the motion of the mouse or the keyboard regardless of whether they are PS2 or USB. With regard to any sleep function key that might be on your keyboard, the functionality would have to be enabled in the device drivers and those are the responsibility of the manufacturer so I suggest you check the keyboard manufacturer's website for the latest XP compatible drivers or software. -- Michael Solomon MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Backup is a PC User's Best Friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ "Ron Joiner" wrote in message ...

Well Micheal, I also have an very new Asus A8N-SLI and when I put it in hibernate I simply touch any key on the keyboard when I need the computer and after about 20 seconds I have the desktop. When I hit the sleep button, which I have configured for hibernate, the computer clearly goes to the hibernate screen before shutting down. The A8N is in an Antec Sonata which has two bright blue LEDs and these are clearly off when it is in hibernation so the machine is effectively "off". There is NO flashing power light! When I hit any key the lights flash on the computer wakes up, goes into its restore state and once to the desktop it is exactly where I left off. What does that sound like to you, hibernate or standby? To me this is not standby. Ron |

I believe it has to be a PS/2, the jumper on the motherboard that controls
that power-on feature affects only that port. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Ron Joiner" wrote in message ...

Asus' newer boards have a jumper that will allow a user to initiate power-on by using the keyboard. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Michael Solomon (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ...

How to enable "hibernate" choice at shut down?
Well, now that you clarify, it's hibernate. However, this information did
not appear in your initial post. That said, this is a new feature which most users don't yet have, the ability to power on by the touch of the keyboard. This is a peer to peer newsgroup and at the very least, the information I provided was a clarification of the difference between Standby which might also be construed as "sleep" and Hibernation for the benefit of other users as well as yourself at least under the parameters of the information you initially posted. Also, in your initial post, you said the sleep button did not work under Windows XP, now you are saying you've configured the button to put the system in hibernation. My response was based entirely on the information you initially provided, I apologize for any confusion. -- Michael Solomon MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Backup is a PC User's Best Friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ "Ron Joiner" wrote in message ...

How to enable "hibernate" choice at shut down?
Hi Michael,
It will power-on from either hibernate or a full shutdown with this feature enabled. The jumper is disabled by default, but it's an easy one to locate and enable (usually right behind the PS/2 port), and is well documented in their manuals. I only recently discovered this myself when I picked up a new board for a system build (and actually paused to read parts of the manual, not something I normally do). -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Michael Solomon (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ...

How to enable "hibernate" choice at shut down?
Thanks, Ron, it's good to know it can be enabled in the BIOS as well, at
least for your board, though, I am wondering if the board has to be properly jumpered in order for this choice to appear. If yes, perhaps your board came with the proper jumper setting by default. -- Michael Solomon MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Backup is a PC User's Best Friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ "Ron Joiner" wrote in message ...
