1st off, check that the prompt you are typing the command from is an admin prompt - look at http://uksbsguy.com/blogs/doverton/archive/2007/03/12/how-to-start-an-administrative-or-elevated-command-prompt-and-tell-if-you-got-it-right-in-vista.aspx for more information on how to check.

Hi Guys, I got this and it works

RESOLUTION

loadTOCNode(1, 'resolution');

To resolve this issue, use the PowerCfg command-line tool to enable the hibernation feature. To do this, follow these steps.

Note If the computer does not support the hibernation feature, you cannot enable the feature. For information about how to use the PowerCfg tool to determine whether the computer supports the hibernation feature, see the "More Information" section.

1.	Click Start, type command in the Start Search box, right-click Command Prompt in the Programs list, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.
2.	At the command prompt, type powercfg /hibernate on.

I have faced exactly the same thing and this command line does not work on vista pro with an admin account and says:

You do not have permission to enable or disable the hibernation feature

It works again. Not checked the same issue in RC2, but I hope it is more obvious :-)

Many thanks

Vista Hibernation - how to re-enable?

Hi,

On Vista 5728, I used the disk clean up wizard to clear out some space on my 30gig partition (somehow Vista reported only 3gig left (after only 2 weeks of use), and would not burn a data DVD because it had run out of space :-(

I ticked the box to remove the hibernation sys file, thinking I could simply re-enable hibernation once I had burned the DVD, deleted the temporary files and now have 6gig of space again, but after a reboot, I am unable to find an option to re-instate hibernation.

I have looked in power options and even followed the excellent help,but there is no where to Endable/Disable Hibernation. There is of course the "Turn Hibernation on or off" but when I select this, I get "Change settings for the plan:Power Saver" and this only offers me sleep settings and there is no hibernation settings.

Please could anyone help?

Thanks

Andrew

Ps I would happily use "sleep", but my new Dell Inspiron wakes up after sleeping, but the screen is completely blank and I need to cold reset to restart the machine. Alas that is another problem, which may need Dell to sort once they support Vista.
