Cutting and pasting from the webpage itself will not work. Gives invalid parameters error. However when you delete the '-' and type it in yourself (and keep the rest of it the same) it works (well for me on windows 7 anyway). Guessing some format/ascii code messing up with webpagings. Hyphens, en dash, em dash ect (is my guess anyway). Little late to the party but oh well.

Quotes used in Windows OS on the command line are for spaces not desired as delimiters. Ex. c:\>cd "Program Files". The space is part of the folder name and not a delimiter. Syntax: POWERCFG ... -HIBERNATE, -H Enables-Disables the hibernate feature. Hibernate timeout is not supported on all systems. Usage: POWERCFG -H POWERCFG -H -Size -Size Specifies the desired hiberfile size in percentage of the total memory. The default size cannot be smaller than 50. This switch will also enable the hiberfile automatically. I doubt that was your issue and resolution. Quotes used in Windows OS on the command line are for spaces not desired as delimiters.
