    I recently just reformatted my computer, and did a clean vista sp1 install business edition, and noticed that i no longer have the hibernate option when i click on the orb. I tried using the command prompt to enable hibernation, but i it still doesnt show up in the list, just shutdown and sleep do. My computer hibernates, but the only way it does that is if i go into the power options and then tell it that when i close the lid or hit the power button it needs to hibernate. Anyone else having this problem?

    You need to install the graphic card driver to enable the hibernate function

    On the command prompt, type:

    powercfg /hibernate on
