I am running W7 on 64 bit system and although the Allow hybrid sleep Setting
showed “On”, I could not proceed beyond the powercfg etc stage.

Actually, NO, because the Hibernate mode actually turns the computer off -however, it saves all the current programs and internal RAM to hard disk to be retrieved later when the computer is rebooted.

i was reading the info you had on hibernation of the computer. Is this what you would use to have that Magic Jack? I always wanted to get Magic Jack but didn’t want to have to leave my computer on full power all the time in order to get calls.

I’m a member of our local Hilton Head Island Computer Club and host a SIG (special interest group) on Windows 7 each 2nd Tuesday of the month. This question was asked at last Tuesday’s meeting. Thank you for more information than I had to answer. I explained what Hibernation and Sleep were, but I like your in depth instructions on how to “fine tune” these settings. Thanx . . . ;-} jolyn
