The Windows Vista is the operating system having newest feature of “hybrid sleep” for the laptops.  It also has a new feature of “Sleep”.

The Hybrid sleep option actually saves the Operating system to state into the RAM but it also writes all information into the hard drive too. This actually assures that when the power is lost then also the data will not be gone.

How to disable hybrid sleep mode in Windows Vista?

• Initially open up the options for power settings from the Control Panel and then choose the “Change plan settings” link that is present beneath the chosen power plan option.

• In the resultant window, select “Change advanced power settings”. This is the time you will have to scroll via miles of choices in order to search out for “Sleep” mode. Just expand this option and then select it’s underneath option “Allow hybrid sleep” node.
• After this you will have two options, “Plugged in” and “On battery”.  You have to set both of them off.
• After completing this, click on “OK” button and you are ready with your settings.

Now after following these steps, the laptop will go into “Sleep”. If the laptop is not in use for few seconds or the lid has been shut down, then the laptop will actually enter into complete sleep mode instead of hybrid sleep.

isn’t it easy to turn your pc settings to “Sleep” rather then sticking with the “Hybrid sleep”?
