          You say you have enabled hibernation... what happens when you try to put it in hibernation?
          Also what version of windows is this?

            Yes I have enabled hybernation in options, and I can put it into hybernation manualy.
            But none of those automatic options does not work (standby, turn off hard disks, hybernation), except that montior turns off after time I set.
            I am using Windows XP Home Edition SP2.

            Turn off hibernation.
            Turn off any Power Saving settings you have.
            Reboot the system without making any changes 2 or 3 times.
            Re-boot and try again...
            It's a Windows quirk.
