Hibernation on Windows Vista

24 10 2007


While trying to switch on hibernation support on Windows Vista by typing
powercfg -h on 
at command prompt, I have found this error message:
You do not have permission to enable or disable the Hibernate feature

I said to myself, “Don’t worry, maybe the user guide writer never had condition like this before”. Finally, I can solve the problem with some additional command like this
runas /profile /user:arif "powercfg -h on"
