I bought 2 machines and had Win 2K Pro on both. One had Hibernate on the Shutdown Menu and the other didn't. How can I get the other to show it? On the Power options in Control Panel, The 'enable Hibernation support' option is greyed out.

Cannot tell too much due to lack of info on your machines. Hibernation is usually inoperable if the current graphics driver is not updated, or installed. I would check the status of the graphics card or chip set drivers between the two machines and eliminate this common possibility. Good luck!

Thanks for the try. I discovered that the BIOS settings were different on both machines so I set them identical. No more problems. There was another machine with the same problem but I discovered that it didn't have enough disc space to support hibernation.
