Lorac, I don't know if the following string is what you are looking for. It is titled "Lost Hibernation Function." If so, it doesn't appear to be to daunting to try. http://help.lockergnome.com/vista/Lost-Hibernation-Function--ftopict41022.html I am by no means computer savvy but when I saw this string on hibernation problems I figured it won't hurt to send it on to you. Good Luck, Yvonne ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On 11/29/2011 9:00 PM, Carol wrote: > Thank you for your repy Cathy.
