I have an Acer Extensa 367D laptop. It uses a program called Sleep
Manager to control the space where hibernate is stored on the hard disk.
Don't know if there's an update for it, but I'm looking. I know that there
has never been a hibernate tab in Power Properties. Should hibernate be
controlled at BIOS level, or should I somehow let Windows handle it?
Also, the power properties file (whatever it is called) seems to be
corrupted.
There is no more ability to save new settings, they always revert back to
the old ones. Standby doesn't seem to work reliably either (not that it's
performance was ever exceptional), it just locks up where I need to turn
power off and back on again to re-boot.
Is there a settings file that can be deleted that will re-create itself
upon re-boot?

On these computers the hibernation mode is controlled by software and
not the bios. My acer laptop has not had hibernate since I upgraded to
Windows 98 when it first came out until this weekend. I saw your post
and thought I should do something about this. I looked around and
found SleepManager V 1.61 on Acers web site. This program will work
with Win 95 and Win98 and fat 16 or fat 32. Go to this site and
download "sleepmgr.exe" then re-name it to "sleepman.exe" then extract
it. If you don't re-name it, it will try to over-write itself, the
archive and the main program both share the same name. On my computer
I used Win 98 SE with the setup /pj switch and I have no hibernate
tab.
