Windows 2000 & Hibernation

[julesH]

I have a Dimension 8200 running Windows 2000 Pro. Until a couple of days ago I have been able to press the hibernate button on the keyboard to put the system into hibernation and bring it back fine. Now the system goes into hibernation but when I press the power button it just powers up as if it's been rebooted??

The only thing to have changed on the system is that I have installed new Nvidia drivers (Detonator 40.72), can this be related??

MAny thanks

Yes of course. Some drivers does not support hibernation.
Also check up free space on your disk - the HDD have to contain enough free space for HIBERFIL.SYS file which size have to be equal to RAM size.
