Hibernate Won't Work in XP Pro, SP3

[opieandy]

When I choose 'Hibernate', nothing happens. No error message, nothing.
Running XP Pro, SP3, 2 GB RAM.

I can log off and then get hibernate to work, but of course logging off
shuts down all apps, which I don't want to do.

Any solutions, or any other info I can provide to help diagnose?

Thanks,

Chris

Also, the 'enable hibernation' box is checked in power options.

Would've edited the original post but don't see an editing function
here...am I just not seeing it?
