I would "highly" suggest that if you wish to save power, just shut down
the computer all together. If not, just use the power option>power
schemes>"turn off monitor" settings. You can even try that right now! :-)
This is what I did before. (Ever since the great explosion last week or
so, I now shut down the computer when I go to sleep.) I'd just set the
timer to three minutes. (provides a great night lite) In the morning, a
slight nudge of the mouse and viola, the monitor powers back up.
Remember that when you hibernate, XP will write a ton of stuff to your
hard drive (supposedly so that your computer will be in the same state
when you take it out of hibernation), but if you just power down the
monitor, and go to sleep, the same things that were there when you went
to sleep, will be there when you wake up. :-) Of cours if there's no
power loss and so forth!
