I have 2000 also, and I noticed that also. What Win2K uses is it's own Hibernate,
so if you create the Hibernate file in ThinkPad Utilities, apparently it uses Windows'
functionality. As for Standby, Fn-F3 doesn't work, and Fn-F12 doesn't work for
hibernation. Fn-F11 doesn't work either. Suspend still works though.

Yeah, only Fn-F4 and Fn-F7 work for me (and the 770 and 600 seem to be somewhat
similiar).

Shouldn't make a difference. I have Win2K Prof with SP1.
