Info for you geeks out there

[Norcent]

I just formatted xp and wanted to hibernate my pc but the option wasn't in the power options in the control panel. I found out that I disabled 1 of microsoft's services that uses hibernating.

Now you guys know if you didn't already about the hibernating not showing up in the control panel where it should.

interesting, why did you disable something you didnt know about?

I found this tweak page online that told me what services I didn't need and there isn't a hibernating service called hibernate so it was hard to figure out which service I needed.

I didn't delete anything if you read what I wrote you would know that I fixed my hibernating problem.

Just do a repair installation. That should replace the file.

Never, never, NEVER remove anything unless you are 110% Certain you know EXACTLY what it is and what it does.

I'm 99% sure hibernation is just disabled by default..

you could've accidentaly deleted it with tune up software they usually say delete hiberfil.sys to free up more space.

I chuckle at the lack of reading on this thread.

He said he figured out the problem already. He just turned off a required service. Which he has already turned back on. He was just posting it because he felt others might be interested in the info.

Quit diagnosing it

i am not diagnosing i said this has happened to many people, they disable the hibernation but some programs delete it instead of disabling it.
