How to enable hibernate option in windows XP

[Chantu]

Hey guys!
I had some issues and so re-installed Windows XP. Now i can't see "Hiberante" option in the turn off menu... Help guys. My machine is a very slow and old one. So i can't afford to shutdown it everytime...! Please help!

Hey!
Try this out :

• Click on start menu
• Click on turn off
• then when the three option come press and hold "Shift" key.
• You will find the "Standby" option switches to "Hibernate" option
• Done!

Have Fun!

Hey Fame!
Thanks! But i already did that but still unable to find the hibernate option. The Standby option is also not usable. It appears as non-clickable and faded and is grey in colour...! Any other way? Help guys!

Hey!
All the symptoms say that your computer can't go to standby mode so hibernating wouldn't be possible. Make sure you install all the drivers problely then go to control panel. click on power management and go to Hibernate tab. Now check the enable hibernating box. This would solve your problem, But make sure all your drivers are installed...!

Hey dude go to control panel-->Power Options-->Hibernate tab, and enable hibernate from here. Click ok and try using the shift key now on the turn off option.
