    Heck, I can't even figure out the difference between sleep and hibernate, so I just shut down. I mean, isn't hibernation a form of sleep? Can't these geniuses who write these OS's come up with terms that mean something, and aren't effectively synonymous? Hmmm? Marc

    IMO all too often people try to condense everything into a single word; that may be fine for some, but it fails to help many in many situations. And obviously most adjectives (new, extended, expanded, improved,...) loose their relevance pretty soon. A few meaningful words would often be much better. Like so: hibernate --> disk-based sleep sleep --> power-based sleep BTW: I have read several times Vista offers a combination where RAM state gets backed up to disk but also is kept alive in RAM for as long as power or battery can hold it, so resuming would be as fast as possible; however I'm unable to find it in Vista's power control panel. :)

      Does anyone else here use hibernate in Vista? When I wake my desktop machine from hibernation, it only allows me about two minutes to log in. After the two minutes, if I haven't logged in, it automatically re-hibernates. :mad: I can't find any setting in the Power Options control panel that addresses this behavior. Does anyone know how I might stop it from automatically re-hibernating?

      I haven't seen this behaviour. I often power it up, then take a leak or make green tea (mmm!) or whatever, and I see the password prompt when I get back.

        Would not help - my XP shuts down automatically after waking up:mad: And the laptop does not allow me to prevent hibernation completely.

          Vista requires very long passwords... part of the Microsoft Security Initiative. Also, Richard used to work in a machine shop that had CNC machines controlled by Windows NT 4.0, so he has only one finger left.

            My hibernate wakes up fairly quickly and then I log in. I can't really think of a reason to wake the computer up and then not log on so I have never experienced the behavior. I bet there is an policy edit option for it somewhere.

            I wish I could find it. Since I reinstalled Win2k3 my system locks itself every 5 minutes. It's not in the power options, and it's driving me nuts. It never did this before...

              I have my power settings configured to never auto-hibernate, but just to auto-sleep only when on battery or when I close the lid.

              I always just shut down instead of hibernating. When it boots up, it stays at the login screen as long as it takes me to get round to logging in.

                Check for the "hibernate after inactivity" setting, I don't have Vista on my lappy, so I can't tell you where (I remember it being a button/link to do with customize profiles). Try logging in and leaving the cretin for two minutes and see if it hibernates. In any case, this has been the reason I disable any power management on any computer with any version of Windows. Especially when it comes to screen brightness (on laptops) - Windows just doesn't get it right (unplug screen goes dimmer, plug in it stays the same - but that could be TOSHIBA). And get rid of any OEM CRAPWARE. When you pop that driver CD in only install drivers, not one of the utils that Jimmy, the TOSHIBA CEO's eight year old son, decided to write (yes I have beef with TOSHIBA - and yes, it's TOSHIBA, not Toshiba for some reason). Sorry for the rant, but TOSHIBA should learn how to adhere to standards - and how to spell - and how to write decent software. For crying out loud.

                    I don't have a problem with it re-hibernating (not that I've tested it). I do have a problem when putting it in to hibernation, sometimes it just logs me off instead. I come down in the morning to a very hot lappy! :doh:

                      When you change the power settings you're only changing it for your profile. At the login screen I think it uses the default user profile, so it ignores your settings. I don't know how you change this under Vista but under XP you could create a new user, change their settings, then copy that profile over the default user. I'm sure there's an easier way of doing it by changing the correct registry key, which in XP I think is somewhere in HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/PowerCfg.

                            Yep, my XP box does this as well. 5 minutes on the dot after booting from hibernate, it'll shut down again if you've not used the keyboard or mouse. I've never found a means of altering the behaviour, modifying the power profile for the welcome screen account didn't seem to do anything. It even survived a reinstall of XP. Could it be an option in the BIOS that Windows is picking up and interpreting as "shut down with extreme prejudice after X minutes of no activity"?

                                        Why do you use Hibernate instead of Sleep? (I use hibernate because sleep doesn't always work properly: either doesn't go all the way to sleep and gets REALLY hot in the laptop bag -or- won't start back up: black screen, no output, fan on after hitting power button or raising the lid)....
