When trying to set up power options on my laptop, the only option available
is "do nothing"-when closing lid. I am running windows xp (home edition)
sp2. I would like to have the option to hibernate or standby. When I close
the lid now, my computer keeps running.
 
I had the same problem, You need to enable hibernation first. Its a
different tab under Power options in control panel.

Hope this helps

Just to add to this, many laptops have their own, proprietary software to
manage the power options. I've seen this in Toshiba's in particular - they
disable the Windows options but don't grey out the boxes. You get an error
message when trying to apply them that says to use the Toshiba tools.

Also, if you can't enable hibernation, try updating your video drivers.
