SYMPTOMS
After you install Virtual PC Additions on a Microsoft Windows 2000-based guest PC or on a Microsoft Windows XP-based guest PC, the hibernation feature is not available on the Shutdown menu or in the Power Options settings.



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



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, remove Virtual PC Additions from the guest PC if the hibernation feature is required. When you remove Virtual PC Additions, features such as folder sharing, drag-and-drop functionality, mouse integration, and real-time clock synchronization are removed from the guest PC. To remove Virtual PC Additions from the guest PC, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
 * 3) Click Virtual PC Additions, and then click Remove.
 * 4) Click Yes, and then click OK.
