Problem when closing the notebook lid on Vista Business

Hello,

It looks like whenever i close the lid on my notebook the screen turns
off and when i open the lid and move my mouse or press keystrokes on
keyboard it doesnt wake up.

I have changed the options from Power Options to when i close the lid "Do
Nothing". Also i have selected never to turn off hard drives and never to
hipernate or go to sleep mode.

The weird part is that whenever i do close the lid the monitor turns off and
when i open the lid i cant see again Windows Desktop. It's a black screen.

Though when i do commands from the keyboard they seem to be done. For
example if i do Windows+Shutdown and do manual shutdown it will be done,
even if the monitor is closed.


Any ideas or suggestions on how can i resolve this?

Thanks,
--Christos

same problem here. Compaq notebook. changing the sleep pattern in vista
doesn't help.
