My new laptop came with 512 Ram but I upgraded to 1gig... 13gig of
60gig HD is used.
I ALSO have the same problem with my desktop.

Subject: Re: Re: Windows ME
Thanks for the info, cade. There is no Hibernation tab, thus I don't have
that option. I let my computer go on standby after a short amount of time
(15 minutes), since I check email, do some minor stuff about once every hour
or two. I've never had the desire to Hibernate; I've used stand-by for
several years now and have had no problems.

Peter, how are you trying to access the Hibernate feature of your
computer/OS? You can go to the Control Panel>Power
Options>Hibernation tab. Make sure the Hibernation option is
enabled.
When you go to shut the desktop down, just press the SHIFT key and
you will get the Hibernate option.
Only people who have not used Hibernate because they do not own a
laptop ask whether Hibernate is only for laptops or for both laptops
and desktops. They think they are going to save $30.00 on their
electric bill. That's not what hibernate is for. It's designed to
save battery life on a laptop when you walk away from it for a short
period of time. If you do not own a laptop and want to save on
electric bills shut down your computer when your done with it. If
the laptop is plugged into a wall socket and goes into hibernate
it's still going to draw power to charge the battery up. If it's
not plugged into a wall socket it's going to draw less power from
the battery when it goes into Hibernation. Hibernation is for
unplugged laptops running on batteries to conserve the battery.
Hibernation is not so that one can walk away from ones computer for
extended periods of time and feel confident that when you come back
all will be as it was. If you're using a desktop you are better off
with a UPS and software that auto saves and shuts down the system.
Having said all of the above, there are certain PC makers like Dell
that do not recommend the use of Standby/Hibernate. These
applications were written by Microsoft for laptops. They are not
reliable on desktop computers.
Desktops can in fact hibernate and suspend. However it's generally
not worth the hassle. The principal purpose for these is in fact to
save power when running on a limited power supply (read batteries).
On a desktop, there is really no valid reason to suspend or
hibernate.
If your PC is multi-booted using a 3rd-party boot management, do
*not* hibernate. When I first installed XP on my multi-boot system,
I used the hibernate feature almost exclusively. After losing a lot
of files, and after I finally realized the cause, I haven't used it
since.
You can find out a lot of information about power management
starting here:
http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/platform/PCdesign/LR/default.asp
If you can handle the low level technical specs the references on
http://www.acpi.info have quite a bit in English that's
understandable.

That may be true, but I have a desktop, and thus I don't think
Hibernate is an option. After reading the article you sent in your
previous reply, I didn't see any reference to desktops, only laptops.
Thanks for your input.

There is. If Win9x has Hibernate, WinMe should have one too.

Thanks, Tom, for the reply. Well, it's too late now. He's come and
gone, and, yes, it was the power supply. I do have another question,
though. This guy didn't like my 'screen saver' settings, where I had
my hard disk turn off after a certain length of time. He said it's
hard on the drive (no pun intended) and that I should just let the
thing keep running. I usually turn my computer on in the morning,
then check email, etc. I leave it on, then check back every hour or
so for new emails, etc. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Peter

Subject: Re: Re: Windows ME
If you don't see the Hibernate tab, your hardware doesn't support the
Hibernate feature. Some computer manufacturers provide a check box to
enable hibernation instead of a Hibernate tab. Windows Me has very poor
hibernation support. Every single driver of every single peripheral has to
be compatible/perfect, or otherwise it will not work. There have also been
reports of losing the Hibernate option after installing AOHell. There are
also cases in which the PC come with the Hibernation feature but due to
some unknown cause, it disappears. Sometimes reinstalling the OS fixes the
problem, sometimes not. And what is more strange is after the Hibernate tab
disappears, when you shut down the PC, it still Hibernates. OH YEAH! The
wonderful world of Windows. :) My recommendation if you are in that
situation is to reinstall the video card drivers or get its latest update
from the video card manufacturer's or your PC maker's site. After
installing a fresh set of drivers, right-click
on your desktop and select Properties>Settings, change the Color Quality
to Highest (32 bit), then adjust your Screen Resolution to your liking,
then click on Apply.
Also, download and install the new ClearType Tuner Powertoy if you are
using XP.
For some of you having this problem, here is a bit of a tip:
Problem: Why can't my machine hibernate?
Possible Solution: Click Start>Run>type "NOHIBER.TXT" (with no quotes) and
it will tell you what's holding things up. Most common cause is the audio
driver.
Another place where you might find where to activate your OS hibernation
feature is by rightclicking your desktop>choose Properties>Screen Savers
tab>Power... button in the frame Monitor Power>Hibernate tab. You can check
the box that says "Enable hibernation" to activate it. It'll also give you
info on how much room the hibernation file will take up in your Hard Disk
Drive.
To use power management, you must have a computer that is set up by
the manufacturer to support these features. For more information, see
your computer documentation.

Hello:
I just found this what looks like a liffle gem of a program. I have been
looking for this for a while. Just a small FTP Program that will run from a
flash drive and not create any reg keys.
I was wanting this so when I am not home and need to fix a website for
one of my clients I can do it from anywhere without having to install an
FTP Program.
Just wondering if anyone has tried it out and found any major flaws? I
tested today on a test machine and it seems fine.
