I am using Win XP SP2 on my config....... details can be seen in my sig.
The problem is when i installed windows this evening after a clean format, i am unable to enable my hibernate option. It gives the following error:

" The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. "

Please help me guys..... i hibernate quite often so i need it urgently
