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?

Hibernate on Vista is a dice roll.

Sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes it works like a hard reset
with disk checks and all the crap that goes with that.

Best to avoid it if possible.
