263012 2004-08-18 11:37:00 I have a HP Pavilion ze4300 laptop and I want to put it into hibernation, however when I try the screen comes up with Preparing to hibernate and then the system locks up. It will not respond to the mouse or anything all I can do is hold the power button for 7-10 seconds to turn the system off. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I could correct the problem, I really need to use the hibernate facility.

Cheers

263013 2004-08-18 12:51:00 I hate to tell you this but some laptops have a problems with Hibernation. My advice keep an eye on the hp site for updated drivers for that lappy or if its still under warrenty ring the warrenty agent they may know more about this. beama (111)

I use standby instead. Go to your power settings in Bios and set a 5 second delay on the power switch. This way if you jab the button it will go into standby, hold it in and it will power down.
Standby varies on different computers, on mine the PCU fan turns off, the power pack fan runs at half speed. Programs remain in memory, just save your data first.
Wiggle the mouse or tap the space bar to revive.

263015 2004-08-19 00:01:00 Am I correct in understanding that it does not actually go into Hibernation at all... OR are you saying you cannot get it out of Hibernation.

If it's the latter then check your mouse settings.

In control panel open Mouse select the Hardware tab then click the Properties button. From there choose the Power Management tab and tick the allow this device to bring the computer out of standby (Hibernation in your case)

If not then you may have to check your Power Management settings in the BIOS.

263016 2004-08-19 09:10:00 try this Go To Start click on Turn Off Computer and hold down the shift key the first option then transforms itself into Hibernation kk kirrie kiwi (279)
263017 2004-08-19 09:23:00 Another one to look at is go to Control Panel then Performance&Maintanence then Power Options then Hibernate check for tick on hibernate then Power Schemes set times for hibernation to start. kk kirrie kiwi (279)
263018 2004-08-20 10:37:00 If your laptop does support Hibernation the easiest way in is : Control Panel - Power Options - Advanced - When I press The Sleep(or Standby) Button - Select Hibernate from the drop down.
