Why hibernate if not in power settings?

I have told Vista not to go into hibernation at all, in my power settings.
In the Sleep option, I have hybrid sleep turned off (for both options), and
under Hibernate, I have never for both battery and charging. But after
several hours of inactivity, the computer will go into hibernation (the
sleep mode is suposed to turn on after 30 mins of inactivity--and it
does--normally it goes in and out of sleep mode without a problem). Is there
any other section that I can check, that will turn my computer from sleep
into hibernation? I"d rather it stayed in sleep mode.

Hello Paul,

Using the method in the tutorial below to disable hibernation by
deleting the "Hibernation File Cleaner" option in Disk Cleanup should
stop your computer from going into hibernation.

You might also check to see if you may have the Power Plan Options set
to hibernate for what to do when the battery gets low.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
