Pre-RC1 and hibernation

Hello.

Hibernation seems to have disappeared in Windows Vista Pre-RC1. I found an
help and support article that told me that Standby and Hibernation have been
replaced by "Sleep" but the problem is that Sleep has the same effect as
Standby on my computer (It's not a laptop computer). How could I recover the
Hibernation option ?

Thanks.

Sleep (aka Hybrid Sleep) *should* be an improvement over Hibernate, but you
can enable Hibernate as follows:

Start->p-o-w-e-r (Press Enter)
Click "Change plan settings" for your power plan
Click "Change advanced power settings"
Expand "Sleep+Hibernate after" in the tree view
Click on "Never" and pick the desired number of minutes

Alternatively, you can set Hibernate to be your power button action:
Start->p-o-w-e-r (Press Enter)
Click "Choose what the power button does" (on left)
Choose Hibernate from the drop-down

Also note that a BIOS update may resolve power problems, making Hybrid Sleep
a better experience.

Hibernate has completely disappeared for me on pre-RC1 build 5536. Can't
find it in those settings at all. It just isn't there. Sleep is, but not
Hibernate. The strange thing is, that after first install, Hibernate was an
option. It has since vanished. (Desktop pc, not laptop).

I followed what you told me but these options are not available on my PC

On my computer, "sleep" seems to have become death! When I close my laptop
the computer goes to sleep as it should. When I raise the laptop, I have to
hit the power button to resume (as before) but the computer only goes to the
logon screen and then freezes. I can't log on and the mouse doesn't work.
No keys work and I have to reboot. Anyone else with this problem. I have
bugged it.
