The hibernation button is checked and I can but my machine into hibernation using keyboard shortcuts etc. but I deffinatly did have 4 buttons originally and yes i am able ot access it via the standby button. and no unfortunatly i'm not lucky enough to have 4GB of ram! Am i missing something in the registry? I wish i had looked at it before running the update to see what if anything has changed.

Hi, right have read through the thread about the hibernation button, and this relates to that basically.but i need to ask you lot a question...I baught a laptop with XP home preloaded on it, an i had all four buttons right from the start. Great.However I have now upgraded it to XP Pro (using upgrade function) but now i have lost that all important fourth button (the hibernation one). I have looked through the registry and found the relevent subtree and it apears that i already have all the necassery components complete with ShowHibernateButton REG_DWORD. when i click modify on this the value is already set to 1 and hex is the ticked option. but despite all this i cannot see that button any ideas? If it helps there are also another REG_DWORD named HibernateAsDefault also with value set to 1, and the is a REG_SZ named (default) which under data has "(value not set)"please helpAlso i read somewhere about it being differnt for domain machines or something like that, I don't think mine is in a domain but i do have a wireless acces point network.gigglecream
