Krezno: Thank you for your response. I did as you said, removed the ACPI Power
Button from Device Manager and rebooted the computer. Unfortunately, it did not
resurrect my Hibernation capability. That option still is gone from Power Management.
I also tried the Windows ME restore program, but returning to a previous registry
also was not able to bring back the Hibernation option in Power Management. Thank
you for your suggestions. Do you have any more?
