Anyone know the difference? I’ve heard that Hibernation shuts off certain parts of the computer if not completely and just dumps the ram onto the HD and picks it up again at boot. If so, then what does Standby do? Also, is there a way to keep AIM or MSN running? I always get disconnected when I go into Hibernation. Standby freezes the computer.
Yet, I have had my computer unplugged for about 3 days or so, becuase of parents :(, but if I were to plug it back in, then start it up, it’s still hibernated?
So the question is, does it like save power within the power supply, and feed it?
I don’t think so. I’m not sure if it’s my fault or not, but when I do Hibernate or Standby, it goes there…and when I press the power button to return, computer goes to a black screen and remains there forever. It dies basically. I’m running Windows 2000 Pro.
I would like it to do so though. I have 256SD and I’m sure I have more than enough HD space. I did some tweaking a long time ago, I might have done something to it.
Hrmm,
well, Win2kP is a lot different from XP. It takes like 3 tiems as longer to startup. So if you really want to find the problem with your hibernation, try asking other forums, or do some google searches. I would really look into getting that fixed, I hate waiting for the boot…
Well, I generally don’t wait for the boot anymore. I come home, turn it on, use the bathroom, when I’m out, all booted. I made it no password either, although less security (not that I have anything to hide), quicker boot.
