Open elevated command prompt. Type powercfg -h on. After that, hibernate option should appear in the list of shutdown commands. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Satellite U500 OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 CPU Intel Core i3 M330 @ 2.13GHz Memory 4 GB Graphics Card NVidia GeForce 310M Screen Resolution 1280x800 |

The command that Garlic gave you should work. Are you sure the command was executed. Best is to copy/paste the command into the cmd window. Cmd is very iffy if you forget a blank. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway - 2 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to 2.5GHz Quad Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse terrible devices, who wants them Hard Drives 5x HDD, 2x SSD, 6x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

such as..... what did the cmd window say when you type in powercfg -h on and press Enter ?
did you notice there is a space between " powercfg "and " - ", and between " h " and " on " ?
Try copy/paste the command line into the cmd window, instead of typing manually. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer Aspire 7741Z OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, SP1 CPU Intel Pentium P6200, Cores 2, 2.13 GHz Memory 4 GB Graphics Card Intel HD Sound Card unknown Monitor(s) Displays 17.3 inches Screen Resolution 1600 x 900 Hard Drives 640 GB, 5400 PRM |

Try copy/paste the command line into the cmd window, instead of typing manually. I did copy and paste. I pasted and pressed enter, nothing happens.
Am i suppose to restart to see it? Or should it happen right away? | My System Specs | | |

It should happen right away. Try this, run powercfg -h off followed by powercfg -h on. See what happens. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway - 2 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to 2.5GHz Quad Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse terrible devices, who wants them Hard Drives 5x HDD, 2x SSD, 6x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

Turn off "hybrid sleep" in your "advanced power settings".
