In Vista do Control Panel - Mobile PC - "Change what closing the lid
does" (under Power Options) and change "When I close the lid" to "Do
nothing" for "On battery", "Plugged in", or both as desired.

In XP, go to Control Panel - Power Options - Advanced and change "When I
close the lid of my personal computer" to "Do nothing".

(Side note: Vista's organization makes far more sense. XP designers:
Why is closing the lid of a laptop an "Advanced" operation?)


If that setting has already been done or if it continues after changing
the setting, I'd suggest it to be a video driver problem.
