I deny all knowledge of Vista

New Vista laptop, which I have set to hibernate when the power button is
pressed, which works fine apart from that there is no feedback as it
hibernates. Press the button and the screen goes blank. Is there any way
to make it show on the screen the progress of hibernation, as in XP by
default?

Sure it's not set it to suspend (to RAM) rather than hibernate (to disk)?
