Desktop machines with little provocation will fail to be able to use hibernation. After it fails, we configure the machine to power down the monitor, but not to sleep or hibernate. This is the common cure for this.

My friends Win ME computer went into hibernation and when she came back, the internet no longer worked. Her computer isnt making a link with our router (cant even make a direct link to the modem). She's tried everything... including doing a system restore, nothings worked. She still cant get her computer to link to the router and connect to the internet. Any help would be appreciated.
