    Hello guys,

    Recently I noticed that I have no "hibernating..." screen when my laptop hibernates. I have a "resuming..." screen when de-hibernating, and I have "shutting down" when I shut it down.

    Any thoughts? Specs are on signature.

    Screen at hibernating?

    "Black is black" is all I ever have, since I haven't yet seen one on any of my comps (pcs and laptops). Was/Am I missing something?

    cheers ...

    I know that after hibernating, the screen is black. I mean while the hibernation process is going (i.e. while RAM contents are being put in the HDD), I should have some progress bar, and I don't.

    I don't have one either under Vista.

    XP used to have one but I think that Vista now just puts the graphics to sleep before hibernating.
