Hibernate - Enable or Disable

EDIT: NOW SOLVED IT MYSELF

Thanks for the great tutorials.

I have enabled hibernation using the instructions here, but hibernation is not working properly for me on a desktop with Win7 64 bit and 4GB RAM. I have tried from the Start Menu, from setting the Power Button to that function and from the desktop shortcut described in these tutorials.

I use hibernation all the time on my work laptop (ThinkPAd T60 XP SP3) and frequently on a ThinkPad X60s with Win7 64bit, though there it is probably setup by the Lenovo ThinkVantage power management software.

This is what happens on the desktop - I select hibernation from one of the 3 methods mentioned above, the screen dims, the HDD light is active for a while, the power goes off. Then a few seconds later, it wakes up, shows the Intel BIOS splash screen for a couple of seconds, then just goes to the Windows logon screen. So basically hibernates for a few seconds, but no more!

Any ideas please?

EDITs:
I already have "allow wake timers" set to Disable
Have disabled Wake on LAN in Device Manager for the NIC (and checked the mouse too).
CMD powercfg -a says that S1 and S3 are available.
CMD powercfg -devicequery wake_armed - yay - it was the HID USB Keyboard of all things!!

Hello Jigar, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Yes, by disabling hibernate using OPTION ONE you will also delete the hiberfil.sys file. :)

You're welcome. :)

Hello Wguru,

I'm not sure what you mean. Closing the command pompt window would be the same as typing exit in the command prompt and pressing enter. When you click on OK, the changes are automatically applied so there it no need to have to click on Apply then OK. Either way will work, but your additions would add unneeded steps.

Yeah, it's perfectly safe to use either method of closing a command prompt. It's just a matter of preference.

While Microsoft has greatly improved on the help menus from previous OS's, I do agree with you that they need better/more pop-up descriptions that are easy for anyone to understand regardless of skill level.
