Pigpen, the original poster plainly stated that he tried that, and the
"Hibernate" tab was missing (or greyed out):

The answer to this one is fairly simple, however: the Hibernate tab
will not appear if the motherboard does not support ACPI. To check,
open Device Manager, and expand "Computer" by clicking on the little
plus sign to its left. If it supports ACPI, it will be listed there
as "ACPI x86-based PC". If it's not there, it is either turned off in
the BIOS or the motherboard does not support it.
I've not seen many laptops which would not support the Hibernate
function, so his answer may lay elsewhere.
