Not all systems support hibernate. Are these systems that were user assembled, or prebuilt (i.e. Dell, HP, etc)?

To enable hibernation, if supported:

1. Go to the Start Menu, then Control Panel

2. Click "Switch To Classic View" on left

3. Double-click "Power Options"

4. Click the "Hibernation" tab on top

5. Check "Enable Hibernation"

6. Then click "OK" and you're done!

Hibernate can be difficult to implement, unless fully supported by your computers motherboard and BIOS. Unless your system is a recent build it likely won't support it.

Are your standby problems on a Windows 98 computer? It's important to have ACPI enabled in BIOS before installing Windows. If not, see this article for changing your registry setting, click here.
