Sleep on lid Close

kinglaiho · 06-02-2008, 06:18 AM

Hi
I'm having a rather annoying problem with my laptop sleeping when I close the lid. I've changed the power options, both from the option in the left panel of "Power Options"

and also in "advanced power settings"

I don't want it to sleep at all, but (i don't know what's causing it, maybe updates) the second set of options keeps reverting back to sleep, whilst the first shows "do nothing". Is there some way that i can stop it from changing back to sleep?

In the Advanced settings, you should scroll down to "Power buttons and lid" The only other options from sleep is to "switch off"or "do nothing", if that is what you are looking for.

The problem is that when i change it to "do nothing" (which is what i want) it automatically changes back to 'sleep' after a while.
