Many people have found hibernation to be kind of flaky right now.
I guess they need better drivers or something. I stick to suspend
mode since a 750 (or 750C) can stay in suspend for quite some time.

I have this covered in my FAQ; here's an excerpt:
The TP750 video driver installation is the culprit. It's
rather braindead and assumes that your Windows subsystem will
be under the <drive>:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2 directory. However,
in the case of OS/2 for Windows, this often isn't the case.
You can solve it in one of two ways.
1. Reinstall Windows in the <drive>:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2
directory. But this is probably too much trouble for most
people since you'll also have to change the directory of
all the apps (and probably edit INIs) in Windows.
2. Create the <drive>:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2 directory and a SYSTEM
subdirectory under that. Copy your WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI to
the WINOS2 directory. Then install the video drivers. After
the installation, copy all the files installed in the WINOS2
and WINOS2\SYSTEM directories back to the appropriate real
Windows directories (ie. C:\WINDOWS and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM).
You will probably overwrite some files but don't worry, this
is the right thing to do. Now, you should check the SYSTEM.INI
to make sure that the seamless drivers are loading properly
(mine wasn't even there for some odd reason). Make sure you have
a "sdisplay.drv=wspdssf.drv" (without the quotes) under the
[boot] section. I'm not sure if this last part is necessary
(would someone please let me know?). Also, is this clear? If
not, please let me know and I'll clarify more.
