Nvidia's geforce and nforce drivers have been one train wreck after another.

"sleep" is not "hibernate"!
Bill: True, but in Vista Sleep is a combination of Standby and Hibernate. How are you entering pure Hibernate in Vista? I will try your method with nVidia's drivers on my setup. TIA Per MS: Windows Vista introduces a new power state called Sleep. The new Sleep state in Windows Vista combines the speed of Standby with the data protection features and low power consumption of Hibernate. Resuming use when your PC is in the Sleep state takes just 2-3 seconds. You can shut down and restart your computer less often by using the new Sleep state, a simple one-click on and off experience which not only reduces power consumption, but also helps protect your data. Sleep on desktop PCs Sleep works in a different way on Windows Vista-based desktops than it does on Windows Vista-based laptops. When you turn off a Windows Vista-based desktop, all the documents, applications, and data that are currently in use are saved in two places. First, they are saved to the memory, or RAM, where they are quickly accessible (in Windows XP this was called Standby). Simultaneously, the information is saved to the computer's hard disk (in Windows XP this was called Hibernate). In Sleep, Windows Vista simultaneously saves the current user information to both memory and the hard disk. |

Bill:
I am running two copies of Vista RTM. One has the new nVidea driver, the other has Vista's driver. Neither op system has the hibernation option via the Start menu. Note that Vista Help does show hibernation as a Start menu link. However, try this: Change the Start Menu "Shut Down" button The Windows Start Menu's new shut down default is "sleep" - however, you may want to change this for whatever reason. To change it: Click on Start, and then click on Control Panel. Click on "System and Maintenance". Click on "Power Options". Select a power management plan and then click on "Change Plan Settings". Click on "Change advanced power settings". In the Power Options dialog that appears, expand "Power Buttons and Lid", and then expand "Start menu power button". Click on "Setting" and then choose the function you want the button to perform - "Sleep", "Hibernate", or "Shut down". Click on OK. Close the "Edit Plan Settings" Control Panel window.

If you want the Hibernation function back do this: Click start, in search box
type command, right click on command prompt above the search box and click run as administrator, when command prompt opens type: powercfg /hibernate on this will give you the feature back. |
