I installed a older Epson c-80 printer on my XP computer and it took out the standby/hibernate option completely. How can I get it back. I can not do sys restore as I have since added other programs. I can not re-install windows as it has updated to sp2 and it would be a downgrade to overwrite. Got any ideas. I have uninstalled the epson and given it away, also I have this prob on both my desk as well as laptop \n\nI looked at the event viewer errors, but didn't know what to look for.  Didn't see anything that meant anything to me.  \nThe Hibernate tab isn't even there anymore when you go to power options.  completely gone.  \nHarryYipNgo gave me some good advise, but I can't get ahold of him.  My profile has my 360 site if he wants to drop me a line.  Both my laptop and desk computers are this way..  Sure miss just being able to leave and have it take care of itself.

If you have XP you can revert back to the date before you installed the printer to begin with. It will save all your documents and photos, but will delete any programs you installed since then. You will have to reinstall them.\n\nGo to ALL PROGRAMS-->ACESSORIES-->SYSTEM TOOLS-->SYSTEM RESTORE. Click on Restore my computer back to an earlier time. Try to remember the date about when you installed the printer.\n\nAlso, if for some reason a program created a new sized SAVE-TO-DISK file which is the incorrect size, it for some reason makes the Hibernation tab disappear. Follow this procedure as a test. If it is not the problem, it won't hurt anything:\n\n1. Click on the Sleep Manager icon on the Systray.  The Systray is on the taskbar where the clock is located.\n\n2. Click on the Remove button\n\n3. When asked if you are sure that you want to remove the Save-To-Disk file, select Yes.\n\n4. Click the Create button\n\nOne more thing: Video driveres for some reason have alot to do with your hibernation tab appearing and disappearing. Why? I have no idea. MS's explanation is that XP does not allow a computer to hibernate if it does not recognise a specific hardware device. Apparently your computer still thinks the driver is there. Sometimes the drivers aren't deleted when you uninstall. If you know the name of the driver, delete it, if not, SYSTEM RESTORE is still your best option...don't be afraid of it...you'll be surprised at how well it treats you!!!

The two HP files are used by HP Photosmart so I'm guessing you have an HP printer connected.\n\nThe fact that there's seemingly random errors suggests something somewhere has become corrupted.\n\nYou culd try doing a System Restore.\n\nSystem Restore lets you restore your computer to a previous state, if a problem occurs, without losing your personal data files (such as Microsoft Word documents, browsing history, drawings, favorites, or e-mail). System Restore monitors changes to the system and some application files, and it automatically creates easily identified restore points. These restore points allow you to revert the system to a previous time. They are created daily and at the time of significant system events (such as when an application or driver is installed).   \n\nBear in mind that when you perform a System Restore you will probably lose any programs, updates and customizations that have occurred after the date of the system restore point - make sure you make back up copies of such files.\n\nTo access the System Restore Wizard, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.  Follow the instructions in the System Restore Wizard to restore your computer to a date prior to when these problems started occuring.

XP W/ SP 2 IS ACTUALLY (man, that's annoying) quite stable.  With problems like that I'd try reinstalling Windows--this'll give you a fresh install and wipe out stuff running in the background.  If same thing happens with fresh install you probably have a hardware problem.

This sounds as if you have connected the printer, but have not loaded the drivers.  Or, you have replaced your printer and have not set it as the default printer.  \n\nTry going to your application's printer set up.  You should have the option to select the default printer as your new one.\n\nI hope this helps.

The most likely place to start are the drivers. If you are using the out of\nbox drivers for the printer, check the Lexmark site for the latest XP\ncompatible drivers for the unit, remove the old drivers and install these\nand see if that resolves it.\n\nNext possibility would be the unit's fax modem. You likely have a fax modem\ninstalled on your computer, it's possible the Lexmark unit conflicts, you\nmight try removing the PC's modem and see if that resolves the issue. If\nyes, you need to check the PC modems manual or manufacturer's website to see\nif there's an option to turn off that modems fax function, then reinstall\nand see if it still causes a problem.\n\nBeyond that, you can check the Event Viewer for errors corresponding to when\nthis happens. Open Control Panel, open Administrative Tools, open Event\nViewer, look for corresponding errors, double click the error, the\ninformation contained within may give a hint as to the source of the issue.

dont system restore until nothing else works. if you can get in long enough to do this then do it or boot into safe mode then goto system properties and on the advance tab look down on the Startup and recovery then click settings then go in the re and disable the automatically restart option on the system failure. You are good to go it will give you an error then basically you research the error any way you want to get your answer i do recommend xp pro. xp home has alot of errors because of sp2. that will get you started. i would try also after that press F8 and select last known good configuration from the menu. hope this helps

Hi Nev,\n\nUsing hibernate to speed up startup is an excellent idea. It also means that when you start your laptop, you are taken back to the how it was before it hibernated. This means you can leave your applications like Word, email, browser open instead of having to restart them each time you power up.\n\nWhat happens is that all the data in memory is saved to the hard drive and the laptop then shutsdown. When you restart, the system is restored from the hard drive.\n\nHibernate does not use any power once the system is hibernated. It does use some disc space equivalent to how much memory you have. So if your laptop has 512Mb of memory, hibernate sets aside 512Mb on your hard drive for this. On a modern laptop your hard drive will be many Gigabytes, so don't worry about the space.\n\nTo force the system to hibernate when you are finished using it, click Start, Turn off computer, hold down the <shift> key and the "stand by" changes to "hibernate", click on "hibernate".\n\nFor more information, have a look at Microsoft's description:\n"Use Hibernate and Standby to Conserve Batteries"\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/mobility/getstarted/hibernate.mspx

Hmm, I guess, it has more to do with reinstalling the printer if it's older than xp.  Newer printers will automatically be detected though.

YOU ARE HAVING "SPOOL" PROBLEMS.\n\nMost of the time, you can reinstall the Drivers. ( The Disk) that came with it.\n\nYou might do a uninstall first, just to avoid any other issues. \n If you have only 1 printer, delete anyother printer programs you have, they may be conflicting.\n\n\nGood Luck.
