I believe sleep and stand-by are the same thing. I find that hibernate loads programs better than sleep.

I don't know about sleep. I don't have that function on my computer. Of course, shutdown turns off the computer entirely. Stand by maintains all of your open programs in memory so that when you press a key, and the computer starts up again, it doesn't need to boot up again.Hybernate does basically the same thing, but instead of maintaining the programs in memory, it writes everything to your drive, and when the computer starts up again, it accesses that file and loads everything into memory again without having to boot up again.Needless to say, Stand by and hybernate are faster ways of starting up your computer again, but they can have drawbacks, such as programs not loading correctly.Bill White billwhite92701@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: "SingingHearts" <singinghearts@xxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 06, 2010 6:45 PM Subject: Re: Shutting down problem!What is the difference between sleep, hibernate, and standby?

Dave, This doesn't answer Brandon's question, as he has just explained, but here's something I do when XP won't close down. I assume there's an equivalent procedure in Windows 7.I'm sure you've seen the message to the effect that if you close a program now, you may lose all your data. One choice you're given is to close anyway,which you do by pressing alt-e.Sometimes when my computer won't shut down, I'm given no indication why.Even though the choices aren't shown on the screen, I'll press alt-e. It works almost every time. I believe Outlook 2003 is the culprit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On BehalfOf Farfar Carlson Sent: Sunday, December 05, 2010 4:32 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Shutting down problem! Brandon,No idea what to suggest. It may be that there is an application running or a process running that does not respond to the normal shutdown command andeither continues to run or forces a complete shutoff.I've cooked my laptop more than once in my backpack when I thought it had shut down, but was still running. They get extremely hot if they don't haveventilation. I always check now at the air vents to make sure there is nothing running before putting into the backpack.Dave Composed on a Dell Latitude 630 in the general vicinity of my AudioRecording and Mixing Studios, San Jose, California ----- Original Message ----- From: Brandon Keith To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, December 05, 2010 13:16 Subject: Re: Shutting down problem!

I'm not sure if windows is installing an update orwhat, but it gets super super annoying, especially when I have 5 or 6 programs up at once and I need to restart them all. And because I'm inschool I have to close my lap-top at least 5 times a day. This has always happened and I'm not sure how to fix it. I changed the option to hibernate when the lid gets shut rather than go to sleep, but that only decreased the shutting down from 1 every 3 times to 1 every 5 times and increased the timeI need to wait for my computer to start up. I'm not sure if there issomething that says it will shut down when I close my lid or what? Any helpwould be really appreciated!
