Hoping someone can help me out here. I'm running 64bit Vista Ultimate on my pc and it just will not power off when I click hibernate. Instead it just reboots. I have the settings all set the same as another computer in my house which powers down properly.



I would appreciate if anyone could help me out...starting to go a little crazy over here

Um, click that little triangle thing, and click "Hibernate"

Their isnt any actual GUI button for Hibernate in Vista..

Yes I know about the triangle menu. But the problem is when I click Hibernate, it acts like it's going to shut down and then it proceeds to restart instead. Hibernate is supposed to save my session to disk and power off right? That's not happening.

Im having the same issue! Has this been resolved? If so how so I can fix mine
as well...Thanks!

I never did get this to work. Unfortunately I had to go back to XP. Sad I know but at the time it was the easiest thing for me to do. I spent a good 4 hours messing with this issue and I do know my away around a computer. I hope you have better luck then me

I myself have searched everywher for an answer and cant find a solution! If I
do I will post back here....

samw here. sometimes it would powerd own and in the middle of the night restart and I would find in the morning that the computer had been on all morning.

I figured it out with my Vistax64. Go to device manager (in control panel). Click on network adapters. Right click on the card (wireless or lan or both). Somehow, turn off wake-on-lan capabilities. You probably have to click on Advanced options for whatever card you're changing the properties of. Do this for all the network cards you have.

Hibernate now works for me!
