Zxian Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 As for prompting for a password, check under the Power Options.For the second question, are you talking about power down or power up? For both there isn't really all that much you can do. That's about as fast as you'll get your computer to be ready without drawing any power while it's off.

grafx1 Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 when i returned to use Welcome screen, it stopped prompting me to unlock the computer and what about ram drive is it a hardware drive or softwarei know the idea of the software ram drive but is there a hardware one?Thanks.

grafx1 Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Thanks..., i'm waiting for it But, is hibernation has any drawback as i have 256 MB of ram only ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Hibernation should fly for you!Just use what you've got. It's not that slow is it? I've got 1GB of RAM and it only takes me about 10 seconds from pressing the power button to being at a fully functional desktop (specs in sig). The less RAM you have, the less time it should take, since there's less data to be written to the hard drive.I only reboot my laptop when I need to really... probably about once a week.

The post on my laptop is only about 2 seconds, and I know most desktops are longer than that.But once you're past post, it should be pretty quick.

ender341 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Make sure your BIOS is set to quick POST, or similar option, and that can speed it up quite a bit. Does Hibernate work better in XP than it did in ME(*Shudders*)? it never worked right. Not to worried about it on my comp though, it can be shutdown, and started up to the desktop in about than 35 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hibernate works beautifully in XP. It's one of the big leaps and bounds over 2000 (let alone ME).Hibernation is more often typically used for portable computers (i.e. laptops/tablets) rather than desktops since laptops are often used on the go to quickly check e-mail or the like. To easily do that, you need to turn on the computer, do whatever, and turn off the comptuer, all in a very short time span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
