Putting the Tablet in Standby or Hibernation Mode
There are 2 power saving modes available on Windows XP Tablet PC Edition:
Standby can be selected from the
Start > Shutdown
menu or by selecting the option as a
system action when the power button is pressed (see above section).
Hibernation can be selected by depressing the shift key, either on the onscreen keyboard or an
external USB keyboard when selecting ‘Shutdown’. If this option is not available, it requires
to be enabled (
Start > Control Panel > Power Options > Hibernation
). Tick the ‘enable
hibernation’ box, then OK. Once this has been enabled, a Hibernation option will appear as a
controlled shutdown option in the Advanced tab in Power Options Properties. If this is
selected, hibernation will occur when the power button is pressed.
