Re-Enable Hibernate Option in Windows Vista
9 Январь 2009
If you’ve found that your Hibernate option is missing from Windows Vista, it might be from running the disk cleanup wizard and removing the hibernate files. This is due to a known bug in Vista that might not have been hotfixed already.
Turning it back on is very simple, however.
Type cmd into the start menu search box, and use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to open in administrator mode. You can also right-click the item in the menu and choose Run as Administrator.
From the command prompt, type in the following command:
powercfg /hibernate on
You’ll have to restart your computer before it will take effect.
Update: Alternative Method
An alternative method with more steps was suggested by Shane in the comments. If the above doesn’t fix your problem, you can use these steps.
- Go to the command prompt icon in the Start menu under Accessories and right click the icon: click “Run as administrator”.
- Paste: “powercfg.exe /hibernate on” and hit Enter and also paste “powercfg -h on” and hit enter just to be safe.
- Open Control Panel and type in “Hibernate” in the Search.
- Click “Turn hibernation on or off”
- Click “Change advance power settings”
- Scroll to and expand the “Sleep” option.
- Select “Off” to the “Allow hybrid sleep” option.
- Scroll to and expand the “Power buttons and lid” option.
- Select “Hibernate” for the “Sleep button action” option. 10. Select “Hibernate” for the “Start menu power button” option.
Hopefully one of these methods will solve your problem!
Disable digital driver signature
8 Январь 2009
Q:
Hi all.
I have several devise drivers that are not digitally signed but otherwise work happily under windows server 2008.
At present, during booting up, I need to go thorugh the loop F8 to manually disable “digital driver enforcement”, but this is good for the current session only.
Is there a clever way to permanently disable digital driver enforcement, so that I do not have to use the F8 option manually every time?
A:
There are 2 ways to disable digital driver signatyre enforcement; the 1st way is using command-line tool cmd.exe to execute this command-line bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON , the 2nd method which is recommended is to diable it through Group Policy Object (GPO),
1. Start —>> Run —> GPEdit.msc
2. Enable and Ignore Code signing for drivers policy under User Configuration —>> Administrative Templates —->> System —->> Driver Installation —>> Code signing for drivers
Permanently Turn Off and Disable 64-bit (x64) Windows Vista Forced Driver Signature Signing with ReadyDriver Plus

In 64-bit Windows Vista (x64 edition), Microsoft enforces requirement for loading of kernel-mode software such as device drivers, filter drivers and services to have Kernel Mode Code Signing (KMCS), especially driver binaries that load at boot time (”boot start drivers”) which must contain an embedded signature.
