Hibernation?

Bobo · 12-13-2006, 02:51 AM

One of my friend's PCs has Windows ME on it. She wants it to stop hibernating. The problem is that there is no hibernation tab in the power options box. How is this possible? Is there some other way to get to it?

I have not been on this computer, but she knows what she is doing enough that I trust these answers. I don't know the computer model or specs. Any ideas?

I had a very load laptop once that had a hardware hibernation. Realize this is during the Windows 3.11 days

It's setup was located somewhere within the bios. I'd check there. If anything, perhaps they'll be some sort of suspend options that could be disabled?

Hmm...in the BIOS....that's an interesting concept...

Well I know that over IM i am not going to be able to explain to her how to get into the BIOS. If it becomes a real problem, I'll go over there and see if that's it.

Anybody else have some ideas?
