ok, thanks a mil.
alright, so if you get hibernate and standby in selective startup / all
unchecked ( all drivers / services except basic and hardware ones are
disabled )
and i don't get those, i guess it means it the problem is with the hardware
drivers,
so the next step would be to manually disable hardware drivers one by one
and isolate the one that kills hibernate / standby functions.

the problem could be the following:
-bios, upgraded couple of days ago to latest, but will check if hardware is
all fine
-hardware drivers ***** need to isolate here ****
-soft drivers, not the problem
-services, not the problem

ie it's the from bottom up approach...

ok, i will kill all hardware one by one and go from here.
if this works there might be a methodology shaping up here how to
troubleshoot lost hibernate / stadby functions.

it's sad that microsoft does not provide at least some log file that shows
which
drivers / services are not acpi compliant

***Tinkerer, can you do one more test for me please...***
can you temprorarily disable your video card driver, that will default to
basic vga and could you please see if you get hibernate tab and standby
options under powermanagement in this case ? thanks.
here is how to do this fast:
run -> msconfig -> check "diagnostic startup" -> under boot.ini check
/basevideo,
ok and reboot then see if you get hibernate tab under power option and
standby button when you do turn off. that will tell us is hibrnate/standby
work with basic video in this casd video driver problems can be easily
isolated.

in safe mode i don't get hibernate and standby, so most likely those
functions are disabled in that mode.
