XPS HIBERNATION PROBLEM COMPUTER FREEZES

XPS 210/9200C with VISTA HOME PREMIUM

My computer works fine while I'm using it.

If I leave it alone for a few hours, it locks up. The mouse cursor keeps going around in circles, but does not move when I move the mouse. The KB doesn't respond at all until I shut down completely.

I updated the BIOS to Dell Dimension System BIOS, English, Dimension, 2.4.0

I restored the high performance power plan defaults to get advice on the settings. These are the defaults:

"Sleep After" - it says "never".
"Allow hybrid sleep" - this is set to "ON"
"Hibernate after" - it says "never".

I want to use Hibernate. What should I set each of the above to, please?
