down normally. When your computer resumes from System standby, the system
restores the exact last state of the computer. There are two types of System standby;
Standby and Hibernation. In Windows 98, you can define which System standby the
system enters under what conditions.
Standby stores the current condition of the computer in RAM and stops power
supply to all but a few essential components. Your system enters and resumes
from Standby per the conditions mentioned below. In Standby, the Power
indicator blinks green.
Hibernation saves the current condition of the computer in an area of the hard
disk and turns off the computer. Your system enters and resumes from
Hibernation per the conditions mentioned below. In Hibernation, the Power
indicator turns off.
You can select Standby or Hibernation in Windows 98. See Selecting System
Standby Mode below.

If your battery becomes completely discharged during Standby, you

2. Double-click Power Management icon.
3. In the Power Management Properties dialog box, select Hibernate tab.
4. Check Enable hibernate support if you want to support Hibernation. Uncheck

Entering System Standby
Finish communications, printing, and playing music or video before
entering System standby.
Do not operate the keyboard, glide pad or mouse while the system is
entering System standby.
When the system enters Hibernation, you may see some flicker on the
display. This is not a malfunction.
Save your data before your computer enters Standby. If the power supply to
the computer is stopped, the RAM contents will be lost.
