im also having this problem i did this on one of my friends comps and it worked but i tried it on mine and it didn't work the only thing i could think of is that he only had one user on his comp and i have multiple

not quite, hibernate stores everything on ram to your page file and sets a script for window telling it to load the page file to ram, standby instead keeps the os running and does the same, ( i think stndby on my comp doesnt work, but hibernate does.)

You're wrong there, although nice guess. In hibernaton, the system session is actually dumped to a hiberfil.sys file in the root of your system drive. When you standby the computer, it shuts down all PCI ports, hard disks, peripherals, the lot, while suspending the RAM. Page Files are actually the Windoze term for Virtual Memory-Mac/*nix/Linux users know it was swapfiles, the swap partition, or simply, virtual memory. Just so that you'd know!

Well not quite. Hibernate take the data from your RAM and stores it to your HDD then turns power off whereas Standby just keeps power on at low voltage so your RAM doesn't get wiped. Cause computer RAM is electronically stored.

OK just saw emenblade post after i posted, Very tired. Emenblade to get the Hibernate option, When you click on Turn Off Computer button the shutdow box will show up where it has Standby, Turn off, Restart. Hold down shift the Standyby button will become a Hibernate button thats if Hibernate is enabled in your power options in Control Panel.

How about standby?
