Disable and Re-enable hibernation in Windows 7


The hibernation feature is used mostly on laptops.
Desktop computers no need to use it usually.
Installation will automatically set up the size of hiberfil.sys to the size of RAM.
(Depending on configuration. In new machines is  approximately 2-8GB).
So in desktop computers we can gain many GBs free space on the system partition.

Turn On and Off:

Automatically:
The Microsoft Fix it two services can be downloaded msi file to run.
Hibernation is enabled .
Hibernation is disabled.

By hand:

KONICA MINOLTA Di152 Windows 7 and Windows 8 driver


I had to share a KONICA MINOLTA Di152 printer.
It was necessary that Windows 7 desktops also could print to it.
The Di152 hasn't have Windows 7 or Windows 8 driver, only for Windows 2000/XP.
However the Di152 operates with Di470 Windows 7 or Windows 8 driver as well.
It is true by default Di470 printer is not visible in the list, you must press a Windows Update to update the printers list, and after that appears Di470 printer, and it can be installed.

Another solution: if the Di152 appears as "unknown device" try to "update driver" (it was suggestion in a comment on my hungarian blog).
