Well I have been using Windows XP for a very long time now and I am quite happy with it. Even after when Vista was launched ,I kind of stuck with XP because I found Vista to be a real pain. Most of the things in Vista were quite complicated and for doing a very small thing we had to go through a lot of confirmations and pop-ups and screens which was quite annoying for a user sometimes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Well then came windows 7 which I recently loaded onto my desktop just to try it out because I got good reviews from my friends and connections , I thought maybe I should give it a shot once . So after installing Windows 7 , I am quite satisfied with it till now . It works fine on my machine , it still has some complications for users like me who are very used to working on XP , but still a lot better than Vista by far .<\/span><\/p>\n

Initially I found myself stuck with a small thing like changing the hibernate option settings on Windows 7<\/strong> . I couldn’t find the way to enable the hibernate option as I easily did on XP\u00a0 but after going through few options and settings I finally found the way\u00a0 ,so just thought that I would put it up over the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Steps to enable the hibernate option on Windows 7 :<\/p>\n

1)<\/p>\n

now there are several other power options which can be changed , like for example there is an option called ” Hibernate After <\/strong>” which is used to set the time duration after which the computer will go into hibernation automatically if no user is using the machine or no work is being done by the operating system (in this case Window 7)<\/p>\n

You can set it in form of minutes like 60 mins or 120 mins or even 111 mins to be precise or you can disable automatic hibernation by choosing 0 (zero).<\/p>\n

9)\u00a0 When you are done with your settings , just click on the ” Apply <\/strong>” button of the window to save your settings and then click <\/strong>“ <\/strong>Ok <\/strong>“ <\/strong> to confirm\u00a0 – <\/em>Or – \u00a0 you can directly click on ” Ok<\/strong> ” button to save and confirm at the same time .<\/p>\n
