Feb 20, 2010You know how when you go to your shut down settings on the menu bar, they say sleep, shut down, and hibernate? Yeah, well, my hibernate button disappeared. How do I get it back?

Feb 6, 2009I have been using Vista HP for about 4 months. When first installed, there was an option 'Switch User' on the 'Shutdown/Log Off/Restart.... etc.' Menu. This option has now disappeared. How may I restore it?

May 19, 2008I'm running Vista Home Premium (6.0.6001--sp 1). Since installing Checkpoint VPN client, the Switch User option has disappeared from my shutdown menu. (I've since deinstalled the VPN.) I've read elsewhere that it might be a group-settings issue, and it can be toggled by using the group administration panel. This was for Vista Ultimate, though; trying to run "gpedit.msc" fails with a "not found" error. Is there another way to alter this? Perhaps by hacking the registry? My wife and I switch fairly often between our profiles, so I would like to have the option.

Jun 9, 2009The "open with" command disappeared completely from my file context menu.
The fact is that I cannot have alternate choices of opening media files or any files, cause the command is not there!
So please, if anyone knows, tell me the default command line to edit on my registry...or otherwise please provide me the appropriate solution.
My OS is Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
Won't Come Out Of Hibernation
Aug 8, 2009I have a new HP Pavilion dv-4 laptop with Vista Home Premium 64 bit. When I try to
restart from hibernating, I receive a fatal error message the computer can't come out
of hibernation. I tried to disable hibernation and delete the hiberfil.sys file through the Disk Cleanup application. After it was run, the Hibernate option disappeared from
the shutdown menu but hyberfil.sys was not deleted. I deleted hiberfil.sys from
the command prompt and then ran powercfg -h on which recreated hiberfil.sys and restored Hibernate to the shut-down menu - but it still fails when I try to come out of hibernation. I have RollBack RX installed on the system and I wonder if this is causing the problem.

View 4 Replies View RelatedNo Network After Hibernation
Feb 2, 2009Was having a strange network problem after computer woke from hibernation; it did not happen before Service Pack 1 and never happened with XP. The problem was the internet connection would time out, partially load pages, and generally stumble & fail after resuming from sleep or hibernation. I went into Task Manager and grabbed this screenshot of the network throughput:
The green is throughput, it goes from 100% to 0%, it is apparent the computer was turning the connection "on" and "off" at regular intervals.
My network card is an Intel Pro 100/1000 built into my Abit IC7-G motherboard.
The problem was apparently the sleep mode setting on the card itself; there were no settings available for sleep mode, etc on the card using the default Vista drivers, but after installing the updated/specific drivers from Abit I was able to go into the Device Manager and there was another properties page (with Intel logo) that allowed me to disable sleep mode for the network card. That seems to have fixed it, I have not had the problem again in over a week.

May 12, 2008On my previous Vista HP computer, after not using the bubbles screensaver, I was able to use the hibernate function. On this new computer I cannot get hibernate to to work. I set it for no screen saver and there are no different programs running, so why am I not able to get hibernate to work? I have the power features set for hibernate but when I click the Sleep it only goes to sleep for a minute or so and then the blue light is back on.

Jun 14, 2009Ever since getting the Hibernation feature functioning on my machine about a month ago I've noticed a very peculiar problem with the machine waking up on its own, usually when I'm not around, and I need to know how to stop it. It usually happens after the PC has been powered down for several hours. Today I had put it into Hibernation and then went out, and several hours later when I got home the thing was on, apparently having turned on by itself.

Nov 17, 2009Windows Vista home premium with SP2 and later fixes installed. No apparent malware detected by Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebyte, spybot. Hibernation is turned on. Checked all devices to ensure none have the "wake on" feature activated. When I select hibernate, the screen goes black for a few seconds then the logon menu is presented. Hibernation never occurs.

View 5 Replies View RelatedCPU Usage At 100% , After Waking From Hibernation
Mar 23, 2008I'm completely confused on this issue and I've baffled people at Dell, which from experience isn't hard to do. I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 with Vista Home Basic as the OS. My CPU usage bumps between 10% and 44% after I first start up my computer. And when I allow my computer to sleep and then wake it up, it runs at 100% constantly. I've tried stopping programs from running in MSCONFIG, I've ran Ad-Aware 2007, Spyware, Registry Cleaner and McAfee Virus scan. Nothing has corrected this problem and the programs have cleaned off a few items, but still nothing has changed. I tried checking the Reliability and Performance Monitor and I'm not educated enough in computers to know what I'm looking at. Dell thinks I should reinstall my OS and start over, but I don't want to do this unless it's the last possible recourse.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSystem Hibernation And Freezes
May 17, 2009A while back, I had a power failure. My machine is on a UPS and when the battery got low, it started to hibernate. I think the UPS must have failed all the way before the hibernation finished. I don't know this for sure because I was away from my computer when this happened. When I got back and powered up the machine, it would start to come out of hibernation and then freeze. I found out how to delete the hibernation data so that the computer would start normally, but ever since then the computer will freeze after it's been running for about 45 minutes or so. It's hard to say for sure because it will run fine as long as it's busy doing something, but if I let it sit idle, it will freeze after awhile. I've looked in the event viewer after restarting, but I don't see anything except routine messages. Is there some specific place I can look to figure out what's happening? I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 on an ASUS A8V Deluxe w/ an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ and 2 GB of memory.

View 4 Replies View RelatedVista Keeps Waking Out Of Hibernation
Nov 29, 2008My computer used to go to sleep but recently I've changed some settings and downloaded some new things and now everytime it goes to sleep it immediately wakes back up. Last night when it did hibernate I could not get the computer to come back on. I had to take the battery out of my laptop and put it back in to get it to start. The only way I can get my computer to hibernate now is to lock my computer first. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I turned off the sidebar, and have closed all programs and that doesn't help. There was something I found online last night about the network card and now allowing it to wake the computer. That's already been done (sorry I'm not a computer person lol this probably makes no sense to you).

Jun 17, 2008I am running Windows Vista Home Basic and I accidently performed a hard shut down earlier today. Now when I boot up my computer, it will boot up and then it will completely shutdown and restart again. When it shuts down, it gives me a blue screen and then says "Windows has been shut down to prevernt damage to your computer. bad_pool_reader". I can boot up in safe mode, but if I try to boot it up regularly, then this cycle happens all over again. What do I need to do to fix the problem (preferabbly without having to reinstall Windows/deleting all of my information on the computer)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSound Lost Completely
Jan 2, 2010Recently, after an unsuccessful attempt to upgrade to Windows 7, my reinstalled Vista Home Premium 64bit, after operating normally for a while, lost sound completely. I cannot pinpoint the event that prompted this malfunction and instead of trying to toubleshoot the onboard Realtek High Definition Audio, I installed a Diamond Xreme Sound 5.1 card running a C-Media Electronic driver ver. 6.12.8.1737, which is the latest for this sound card. The sound card worked fine, after a restart, producing rich sound via Logitech's X-210 2-speaker-plus subwoofer system. As long as I kept the system on Sleep, the sound worked fine. As soon as I turned the computer off for the night last night, the system reloaded with no sound playing whatsoever.
I have disabled the onboard Realtek High Definition Audio under Device Manager as well as the ATI High Definition Audio Device that appeared after I installed a Gigabyte HD 5770 graphics card BEFORE I installed the sound card. The only active audio devices now are the C-Media PCI Audio Device (Diamond sound card) and the Logitech Mic QuickCam S7500. Under Sound in the Control Panel, the only playback device is Speakers that are checked and are reported OK by the system as part of the Diamond sound card. Under Recording, the following devices appear: C-Media Microphone currently unavailable Line-In C-Media Audio Device (speakers) checked and working C-Media Aux device currently unavailable C-Media CD player currently unavailable C-Media Stereo Mix currently unavailable C-Media Wave currently unavailable Logitech Mic Working Under Sounds Play Windows Startup sound is checked. After installing the latest C-Media driver and restarting the computer, I receive faint sound from one of the Logitech speakers with volume turned to 100 pc. But no stereo, strong sound....!

I have Vista set to ask for a password when it comes out of hibernation.
However, upon coming out of hibernation, it displays the password screen for all of 10-20 seconds. If I don't put in my password in that amount of time, Vista goes back into hibernation mode. Very annoying.
What I would like is to be able to tell Vista to wait a longer than just a handful of seconds before dropping back into hibernation.
Re-enabling Hibernation After Disk Cleanup?
Jan 5, 2010I know about powercfg -h on. It doesn't work. Disk cleanup deleted the hibernation file, now when I put that line in the command prompt it tells me: "Hibernation failed with the following error: Access is denied. The following items are preventing hibernation on this system. The system could not create the hibernation file. The specific error code is 0xc0000022."I am an admin account, running the cmd.exe as an admin. Doing this in safe mode produces a different error which I can post if you want (along the lines of a VGAsave). There are no options in the control panel remotely relating to hibernation. Is there any alternate way to enable hibernation or to get the powercfg tool to work as it is intended?

Jun 10, 2008I always use hibernation, never had a problem with it up until today. When I tried to start the computer, the "Windows is resuming" screen just sits there. indefinitely and the green progress bar at the bottom is extremely slow.

So I started browsing the event logs and I found that every time I hibernated the system today I got an: The previous system shutdown <at time/date> was unexpected error.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHibernation: Unexpected Shutdown Or Reboot
Apr 12, 2008I've just been using my computer (XP) and have lots of applications running, taking up a lot of memory, even when minimized. Then it hit me - why not (probably in an upcoming version of windows) have an extra button near minimize/maximise, that puts the application into hibernation? The idea being that if the application needs no interaction, like possibly you are writing a word document, but you are waiting for some information to put in it via email. In this case, you don't really want to close word, as the email may arrive at any time. On the other hand, you aren't using word, so it is running in the background, taking up resources.
Why not make it so that when you click the 'Hibernate Application' button next to minimize, it minimizes the application, and writes the active memory onto the HDD. Then when it is restored, load it back out of the HDD into the RAM (much like the way the Hibernate Windows feature works). Certain applications won't be ideal for this, such as if you hibernated an mp3 player, it would result in stopping playback. But for other uses, this seems an excellent feature. It could even be expanded to restore individual applications to their working state after a full reboot (the applications would be there when you logon). This would safegard against losing your minimized word documents that you have open, if there is an upexpected shutdown or reboot. I understand that there is some optimisation going on when you minimize applications anyway, but I'm talking about total hibernation.
