Title: What is Hibernation? Post by: Taruna on January 04, 2007, 01:21:05 AM Hibernation means - An inactive, dormant, sleeplike state, in which the total funtions of systems though inactive, are preserved
Now, In windows you have a special in built utility that allows to hibernate. hibernation allows all of your work to be saved as it is. It will stop the process,But keeo the window open . For example, Suppose you are working in some heavy duty softwares which will take lots of time to save and somehow you need to shut your computer, This means you will have to loose that work. Hibernation will overcome this problem. Try this: open two three notepad windows .. write some garbage in it, dont save it. Now if normally you shut the windows, these will be lost but if you click on hibernate and then shut down , you will get everything as it is.. on the screen .......... Title: Re: What is Hibernation? Post by: Taruna on January 04, 2007, 01:21:17 AM How to activate hibernation!!
Under Windows 98, Me, or 2000 there was an option in the shutdown dialog box to enter the computer into hibernation (where all the content of the RAM is copied to the hard disk). The shutdown dialog box of Windows XP doesn't offer any longer the hibernation button. Some users may get confused about how to enable the hibernation mode. If this mode is supported by your motherboard (ACPI) you have to do the following: 1 Click Start and Shut Down, 2 Point the standby button and maintain the shift key pushed, 3 A new hibernation button appears: click it while still holding the shift key: voila your PC will hibernate Title: Re: What is Hibernation? Post by: Taruna on January 04, 2007, 01:22:06 AM You can hibernate for maximum 364 dayz that is one day short of one year .. So no worries !!
And as soon as you switch on your pc again(restart) you will come out of Hibernation... So no need of any complex commands! |
