-pops- Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 No, your computer just ticks over without doing anything constructive during hibernation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Can you please list some ways that i can run programs/downloads in the background while windows is semi shut off ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 You can keep your machine running 24/7 if you wish. I don't know of ways of having it "semi shut off" and able to do things at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Beyond making sure the screen is turned off after an appropriate interval in Power management, there's not much you can do. As has been stated, being in hibernation, or powered down and downloading anything are mutually exclusive, the hard drive has to be powered up for the download to be written to it.

cozofdeath Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 You can run your downloads then have the computer shutdown without physically doing it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
