what verion of win2000 are you using? there is always a hibernate tab in control panel | power options.

are you on a standalone computer or a member of a network at work?

any chance someone has been playing with GPO's on your computer?

its probably caused by a driver you installed. Or did uninstall right. I had the same problem with my RealMagic Hollywood+ decoder card when i got the new drivers. So if you recently installed a driver set do a FULL uninstall and a clean reinstall.

Do you use ACPI?

no acpi = no hibernate

well if there is no hibernate on there then your PC probably doesnt support it.

requirements for hibernate:

no ACPI
must use WDM drivers for sound card
Video card must be compatible..
Motherboard must be compatible..

I believe those are all of them..

For Hibernate you don't need any WDM-drivers or ACPI-Win2K

But in the book: Windows 2000 Professional - Die technische Referenz MS write that there is no Hibernate-support on dual-mainboards.... Or better: In a Windows 2000 Pro on a dual-processor system.....
