First you need to determine if your computer supports hibernation. You can do this by doing the following: 1) Open a command window (as administrator if Vista) 2) Type: powercfg -a <ENTER> You should see some output that reads something like this: The following sleep states are available on this system: Standby ( S1 S3 ) Hibernate Hybrid Sleep The following sleep states are not available on this system: Standby (S2) The system firmware does not support this standby state. If hibernate is listed, then you know it's supported, so then you can type: powercfg -h on This will enable hibernation. Once it is on, you can go to the power management applet in Control Panel and set the hibernation enable time. If hibernation isn't listed, then it could be the fault of a driver in the system that is preventing the system from hibernating (video driver is the most common).
