SYMPTOMS
After you install Virtual Machine Additions on a Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows XP guest operating system, the hibernation feature may not be available in the Shutdown menu or in the Power Options settings.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you install Virtual Machine Additions because a system driver is installed that is not compatible with the hibernation feature.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, remove Virtual Machine Additions from the virtual machine if you must have the hibernation feature.

Note When you remove Virtual Machine Additions, you remove features such as folder sharing, drag-and-drop functionality, mouse integration, and real-time clock synchronization from the virtual machine.

To remove the Virtual Machine Additions from the virtual machine, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
 * 3) Click Virtual Machine Additions, and then click Remove.
 * 4) Click Yes, and then click OK.
 * 5) Restart the virtual machine when you are prompted.
