If I only knew about setting up my laptop to auto Hibernate when my laptop battery was about to die, it would have been less of a hassle. For those of you who don’t know how to do it yet, here it goes:

1. First off you need to have Hibernate enabled on your laptop. If your laptop doesn’t support it, it may be very very old. Give yourself and everybody else a favor and buy a new one.

2. Click on the Start button on your taskbar and click on the Control Panel icon.

3. Look for the Power Options icon and open it.

4. On the Power Options Properties window, click on the Alarms tab, here you should see two alarm actions. Low battery alarm and Critical battery alarm. Make sure both options are checked.

5. Take note that you can change the values of the Low battery alarm and Critical battery alarm. For the Critical battery alarm don’t set it below 5% it may not be enough battery power for the hibernate process to complete.

6. Now click on the Alarm Action button under the Critical battery alarm option. You should see this window.

7. Check the following options: Display message, Alarm action and Force stand by… Under the Alarm Action make sure that Hibernate is chosen. Click OK and your laptop should hibernate automatically when you have only 5% of battery power left.

This should come in handy when you leave your power supply somewhere else by accident or just too lazy to plug-in your laptop. Happy hibernating. ^_^

Let’s uninstall:

1. Begin by clicking on the Windows Start button on the taskbar.

2. Then click on the Control Panel icon.

3. When a window opens look for an icon titled Add or Remove Programs. Open the icon by double clicking on it or clicking on it once and then pressing the Enter key.

4. A window then will be displayed with the list of programs that has been installed on your system. Just for this exercise I’ll be uninstalling the software named Spb Screenshot.

5. When you click on the program you wish to remove you should see a Remove button on the right side of the column. Click on the remove button and follow the prompts/instructions.

Then you are done! Depending on the software installed, it may prompt that it has been uninstalled (sometimes it doesn’t) and sometimes it may require you to reboot. After the uninstall process, you should not see the program anymore listed in the Add Remove Programs window.

Just a warning, removing programs is pretty much routine but may have some adverse effect on your system if you uninstalled the wrong software (ie. uninstalling your sound driver by accident therefore losing audio). Please take precaution and READ instructions presented in each prompt.

I made this guide as comprehensive as possible, but I take no liability in case something bad happens to your system. You are responsible for your actions. Hope this helps. ^_^
