users SHOULD hybernate

[NetRyder]

The file it's referring to is hiberfil.sys in your root directory (C:\)
Not sure what could be blocking it though.

hmm.. well, not sure whether it should exist on my machine or not (before I enable hibernation) but it's not in the C:/ like you mentioned. And yes, I do see that file on my laptop so.... what next?

note: have never used hibernation on desktop before - might be reason why the file is not on machine (just guessing).

the file should only be there when hibernate is enabled

Just tried hibernate on my older machine with the following spec:

Athlon 1.4GHz
30GB HD 5400rpm

To relate this to what TittleBitties has said, I think I will agree with him that hibernate does take its time to boot up. However, I will also mention that the older machine has not been formatted for quite some time now and you probably will have noticed the spec of the Hard Disk too - it's quite slow.

Now that i have 64bit it does it in a jeffy. Its fast as hell shutdown to hibernate and fast as hell when coming out of hibernate.
