Hi all,
Currently have HP Compaq Presario A900. Following recent problem with screen constantly freezing (now resolved ) i now find that both the hibernate and sleep option icons have disappeared from screen. Any help in reinstating them would be appreciated. It was probably myself that caused it trying to solve the freezing problem but not being very tech savvy i dont know what i have done. Thanks in advance.

This may help http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=110&prodSeriesId=3641174&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3641174&objectID=c02076993
see the section "Configure the Sleep and Hibernate modes"
I found out how to get the hibernation option back with 10 steps. Of course remove/omit all the “”quotes”"! 1. Go to the command prompt icon in the Start menu under Accessories and right click the icon: click “Run as administrator”. 2. Paste: “powercfg.exe /hibernate on” and hit Enter and also paste “powercfg -h on” and hit enter just to be safe. 3. Open Control Panel and type in “Hibernate” in the Search. 4. Click “Turn hibernation on or off” 5. Click “Change advance power settings” 6. Scroll to and expand the “Sleep” option. 7. Select “Off” to the “Allow hybrid sleep” option. 8. Scroll to and expand the “Power buttons and lid” option. 9. Select “Hibernate” for the “Sleep button action” option. 10. Select “Hibernate” for the “Start menu power button” option.

Best bet would be to try the latest display drivers from the HP website.
