Go here to Karen's and get Show Stopper 2.0.3, you can make a hibernate shortcut with this. This is what I use...

Func-F4 is not Hibernate on my computer.
(must be model specific?)

Navigate to C:\windows\system32
find the file rundll32.exe
create a shortcut on your desktop to it by right clicking rundll32.exe, drag to desktop and select create shortcut.

right click the shortcut, select properties.
in the Target after rundll.exe add the following ' PowrProf.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate' no quotes.

It is case sensitive, remember a space after .exe

Change Icon to something you like.
Rename shortcut to Hibernate, or something you like.

I have done it to 2 computers without problems.
