i searched some places and found this

(from Y!answers, i suggest you to search before question)

According to Microsoft, "this is expected behavior". Figures. But, they do offer a hotfix, i.e. a list of steps that you'll have to apply. Unfortunately, this required muddling about in the registry, so I wouldn't do it unless you're sure you won't break anything ;)

Copy-pasted :

"1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.

2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\M...

3. Right-click Windows, point to New, and then click Key.

4. In the New Key #1 box, type System, and then press ENTER.

5. Right-click System, point to New, and then click Key.

6. In the New Key #1 box, type Shutdown, and then press ENTER.

7. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.

8. In the New Value # 1 box, type ShowHibernateButton, and then press ENTER.

9. Right-click ShowHibernateButton, and then click Modify.

10. In the Value data box, type 1, leave the default Hexadecimal option selected, and then click OK.

11. Quit Registry Editor."

(from cnet)

1. Selecting 'Turn Off The Computer'' from the Start menu.

2. Normally the left choice on the resulting pop-up window is ''Stand-By''. But, if you hold down the Shift key it becomes ''Hibernate''. So holding down the Shift-Key and clicking on the resulting ''Hibernate'' button (the left-most button) will cause your computer to start hibernation mode.

(from microsoft)

1.Open Power Options in Control Panel. (Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Power Options.)

2.Click the Hibernate tab, and then select the Enable hibernate support check box.

If the Hibernate tab is not available, your computer does not support this feature.

3.Click OK to close the Power Options dialog box.

Answer 4

In Power Settings, click the "Hibernate" tab and then enable it using the check box
