    Actually, the power settings interface in Vista is completely different. Open the "Power" control panel, and click "change plan settings". Then, somewhere on the left will be something like "change advanced plan settings". Somewhere in the tree below, you should find options about hibernation and "hybrid sleep" (system saves state to disk as in hibernation, and then goes into suspend-to-RAM).

    Edit: Oops, you're right -- I misread it.

    I think you misunderstood him. He said his notebook came with Vista but he installed XP ;)

    flipfire's post should definetly get you going but just in case, and this also works in Vista, you can issue the following from a CMD prompt: powercfg /hibernate on.

    Sometimes in Vista I forget and if you happen to do a "Disk Cleanup" and Clean the Hibernation Files the Hibernate setting may not available in the power configuration settings any longer. If so the above command will get it back. Just a bit of trivea in case you ever need it :).
