T60p Hibernate problem

I don't know what else to try! :x
I don't know WHAT made the thing disappear, but the suspend/hibernate feature suddenly disappeared from my T60p (running updated XP and installing up to date Lenovo drivers).

From the Properties/Energy Options the Suspend tab is gone, I can't check the suspend checkbox inside the Power Manager because it self-unchecks as soon as I apply.
I have re-installed all possible related drivers/applications.
dumppo says that only S5 is supported and no way to add S3 and S4.
I even stepped back to an earlier version of the BIOS but with no luck.

Can anybody help me? :cry:

Thanks in advance,
a.

Pleeeez!

Is it possible that you have inadvertently deleted the hibernate file?

Try in the Control Panel going to Power Options and then the Hibernate tab - is Hibernation enabled? If it is, uncheck it, reboot, re-check it, reboot and see if the Lenovo Power Settings work.

Not sure where Properties/Energy Options is located, but did you try ControlPanel|PowerOptions|Advanced?
Under "When I close the lid..." I have Hibernate selected.

Sorry, I have the italian version of WinXP and I translated literally from italian.
Yes, the ControlPanel|PowerOptions|Advanced is the place where I tried to change the selection. Unfortunately, I select the "sospensione" option (which I imagine is the translation that Microsoft has chosen for "Hibernate") and apply. If I close and return the "Do nothing" option has come back!!!!!
The same happens in the Thinkpad Power Manager: I select the "suspend" checkbox, apply, but it goes back unchecked!
