Anthony A Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 As soon as you enable hibernation you will see a drop in hard drive space equal to the amount of RAM you have in your system. So if you have 2 gig as I do you will see the free hard drive space drop by that amount when you enable hibernation. I keep it disabled and just use sleep/standby mode.

I agree, and have mine disabled, did it for a reason, don't remember why. Some disaster, I think. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

It's a resource hog and disabling it frees up disk space. Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

login123 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I think I pointed this out in the third post Anthony A, you did, in fact. Thanks for the information. I was trying to remember some other untoward consequence of allowing the computer to hibernate. . .I seem to remember that mine was in the middle of something, I was not attending it, and it nodded off. . .not sure, my brain is slowing down faster than Windows 98.
