Default Hibernate and suspend simply not supported on GA-K8N Pro?

This is the latest driver:

Hmm. I'm running a BFG nvidia 6600 GTOC, using the 8.4.2.1 driver, which
I was told is the best for this video card. It's dated 3/9/2006. I'd
have to believe it supports XP. Anyway, based on what you say I'm
downloading the latest nVidia driver, 162.73_quadro_winxp2k_english.exe,
a 37 MB file. I'll remove my display adapter, reboot and install it and
see what happens. Thanks.
