Hibernate Feature of Toshiba Satellite M500-D433.

It's a very strange issue... Anyway, hope someone in this forum got idea to share on how to solve my problem...

Thanks.

ken,
I'm a little confused.

You do or do not want Hibernate mode?

If you want hibernate mode, when do you want the machine to enter hibernation?

I want to have Hibernate feature. My laptop now got this feature, but every times when i hit the hibernate, the laptop will go to sleep mode...

Hope i've clarify things...

Under power, their is a sub menu called power setting,the hibernate enable is under which sub-menu?

At an elevated command prompt, type following and hit enter:
POWERCFG -H ON

type following and hit enter:
EXIT

shutdown your computer.

Power up you computer.

Go to an elevated command prompt,
type following commands and hit enter after each
C:
cd \
attrib

do you see a hiberfil.sys ?

Let's assume you do.

Now
WIN | type POWER OPTIONS | ENTER

In the left-hand side, click on Choose what closing the lid does

For When I close the lid
select Hibenate from the list of choices for both On battery and Plugged In
Click on the Save Changes button

Power down your computer.
Power up your computer.

Now close the lid.
WAIT for Win 7 to finish writing to the disk.

Open the lid

Do you see a "Resuming Windows" display on the screen?

It is VERY important that regardless of what you have previously done that you:
Carry out the steps listed AND in the order listed.

Under none of them.

Under Power itself.

click on Power

I'm attaching a snapshot of what you will see:



You can achieve the same result with POWERCFG -H ON
