I have a winxp laptop that son has brought home from uni - it works fine execpt that it is configured to eventually go into hibernate. I would like to turn this off but in Control Panels although I have the Power Options icon when I try to launch I get a shor hour glass trying to launch and then nothing. It is as if there is nothing behind the icon. I have tried accessing via Help but no success. Thinging there may be some system files missing I ran sfc /scannow but it all went through OK. Any advice most appreciated.

GPO / logon solution for power saving modes?
thread779-1303000
This is from powercfg /? at a Command Prompt
-HIBERNATE, -H <ON|OFF>
Enables-Disables the hibernate feature. Hibernate timeout is not supported on all systems. Usage: POWERCFG -H <ON|OFF>

It may also be in the Bios setup under Power managment, reboot and go into Setup.

This is an Analogy so don't take it personally as some have.
Why change the engine if all you need is to change the spark plugs.
