Thanks for the reply, but I probably didnt explain properly...
I know the difference between hibernate and standby, the issue I am having with my
notebook is that after it hibernates, it tells you "It is now safe to turn off your
computer". This is a pain as otherwise, it just restarts. If I turn it off however,
it comes out out hibernation perfectly when I turn on the computer.
Basically the problem is that I now have to wait until just after it has hibernated
to turn it off when it used to do that automatically - Id close the lid and presto!
There must be some corrupt power options file somewhere...
