Hibernate/Sleep not offered for Enable is Win 7

[sanatana]

I decided I wanted to take advantage of these power management tools but was surprised to find that I can't access them.

From the Start Button, the only options are Shut Down or Restart. Under the Power tab in Control Panel, the problem is the same; these options are not even made available.

Any thoughts?

Thanx, unfortunately the link wasn't helpful.

A while back, I was trying to work out another problem and it was advised that some drivers be updated. Specifically, I installed sp36491, 38834, 42635, and 45112. These are specific to HP laptops and the NVidia GForce card. It may very well be that this current problem began post-install. Is there any way to roll them back? I can't find them in computer/manage/device manager.

in the control panel do you have performance information and tools, if so click it and you will see adjust power settings click , then you will see create a power plan

thats what is on my win7 , hope it helps , harry

I'm not sure what those numbers relate to, but if you want to roll back drivers it can be done from within Device Manager.

this may be of some help to you , it only took a SIMPLE search to find them for you , it was no trouble to help you out

if you want to search some more just search for one sp number at a time

they seem to be  drivers of some sort

hope this helped , harry

In English speaking countries, we don't spell 'care' with a K. We do, however spell "know" with a k. IDK is a well known web abbreviation for "I don't know". Also we do not use an apostrophe before a plural s.

Also, like most tips of that type, it works just the same in Windows 7 as it does in Vista. I just tried it.
