128 Learning the Basics Powering down the computer Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation: ❖ While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no battery power. ❖ Because the mode of the system is held on the hard disk, no data is lost if the main battery discharges. ❖ When starting up again, Hibernation uses less time and battery power than does Turn Off. ❖ Resuming from Hibernation uses a little more time and power to start up than restarting from Standby, because information is being retrieved from the hard disk rather than from memory. ❖ When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode in which you left it, including all open programs and files you were using. NOTE If you place your computer into either Standby or Hibernation mode immediately after the system has resumed from either mode, the computer may not properly reenter the selected mode. When resuming your computer from either Standby or Hibernation mode, make sure to wait until the system completes the process before placing the system back into either mode (approximately 1 minute). If the computer does not reenter into Standby or Hibernation mode properly, restart the computer. Configuring your computer for Hibernation 1 Click Start, Control Panel, and then Performance and Maintenance. 2 In the Control Panel window, double-click the TOSHIBA Power Saver icon. 3 Click the Setup Action tab.
