Suspend to disk in Win2K?

[SEALen]

I've heard that there is a suspend to disk function in Win2K. Is there such a function? and if there is how well does it work? Thinking of upping me from WinNT4.0 and just wanted to know cos WinNT4.0 takes forever to start and stop.

This is known as Hibernate in Win2K....available in the shutdown menu, as long as you enable the functionality under Power Options in Control Panel. Go to the Hibernate tab in Power Options, and check Enable Hibernate.

Win2K shutsdown in about 10 seconds, and then is able to boot in less than 10 seconds. It's quite cool actually.

If you have an SBLive Platinum, there is a known issue with Creative's drivers that can cause problems with the Hibernate facility.

Nope got me a Sonix Vortex 2 (Aureal Vortex 2 chipset). Lucky there is a fix for it now in win2k so I don't have to get me a crappy Soundblaster.
