I had the same problem and I solve it (window vista)

To enable the hibernation feature and the hybrid sleep feature, follow these steps:

1. Click Start>>All Programs>> Accessories.
2. Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or click Continue.
3. Type powercfg -h on, and then press ENTER.

it work for me

Angela: Sounds like some of the system files have become corrupted. You should be able to do a system repair. Press F8 during the boot process and select the repair installation option.

Alternatively, if your sister’s HP came with Vista on DVD, try turning the computer on with the Windows DVD in the drive, let it boot from the disc and select the repair option that way.

Just make sure you “repair” and not “restore”. Restore to factory settings will generally wipe all data and return the computer to the same state it was in when brought home from the shop.

Hey Shane I have a Windows Vista Home premium and some times, even if I click hibernate it still loses power! After a while it shuts down and after it says that it only has 1% battery and it says that it is sopposed to not waste any battery while it is in hibernate mode. Any solutions for the problem? If there are I will post your website on my website and reccomend it in Bold and underlined words. Thanks, Michael Xu

Same as you, I had deleted the Hibernation File Cleaner with the Disk Cleanup Utility, seeing as it took so much space and of course, if it was that important then they wouldn’t let me delete it, right?! Wrong!!

The powercfg utility worked for me too, when I typed in “powercfg -h on” – easy as can be!

Thanks for your help, really appreciate it!
