Hello Andre!
How to access BIOS varies from one computer to the next. It always involves
pressing a key or a combination of keys when the system first starts up.
You need to find out *which* key or keys are the right ones for your
system. For example: On my system, pressing the DEL key during POST (before
Windows starts to load), is what opens my BIOS menus.
Once you get into BIOS, the available menus are different from one system
to the next so I can't give you exact directions here either. Basically,
you're looking for "power management" or "power options" menus where you
can enable or disable these features. When you enable, there are usually
more choices involved. The menus are pretty self-explanatory once you find
them but if in doubt, check your system's documentation for a description
of each setting.
You answered in your other post that you do not have a Hibernate tab in the
Windows' Power Options control panel applet. Do you have an APM tab? If
yes, enable "APM" there.
