If you can't be bothered with vista then install XP........
I did that and went into "power options" then clicked on "change when the computer sleeps" on the left side of the screen. Next, I selected the computer to never sleep. Next I clicked on "change advance power settings" and this brought up a box where I could actually select when I want the computer to hibernate. I selected when 1 min for both battery and plugged in and then selected "apply."

The computer still won't go into hibernate after 1 min like I selected :mad:. There is something way wrong with the power management on this computer. I guess I'm going to have to call the HP tech in India again.

Yes, I hate Vista and I do not have the patience for this. My brand new Windows XP laptop from the new CompUSA is waiting for me at home. This computer will be my daughter's. I'd like to make it work right for her.
