Hi! I'm new to this forum and I'm currently having some problems with my
system.

I'm currently using a Dell Inspiron 1521. I've grown sick of
Hibernation mode (my computer would take seven minutes to come out of
hibernate), and I looked online for a solution. I found a website that
advised me to enter command prompt as administrator and type powercfg -H
off. I did so. Now whenever I close the lid and open it later, one of
two things happen.

Either the computer immediately goes back to how it was, as if it came
out of sleep/standby mode.

Or, the computer goes to a black and white screen informing me that the
computer has suffered an unexpected shutdown. I am then offered the
option to start it in normal mode of in safe mode.

I've tried going back into command prompt and entering powercfg -H on
to no avail. I've tried fiddling with the power options and specifying
what happens when the lid is closed. Nothing.

I keep losing work because of this. If anyone has any ideas or
suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

"bump" works on bulletin boards, not Usenet. Like it or not, that
pitiful board you are using is a Usenet gateway.
