A: Right click your desktop and select properties, then click on Screen Saver tab. click advanced and that should pull up a box with several tabs, One, I forget which, has an option to that says something like: When I close the lid ________ with a drop down, select "Do Nothing" This will leave the laptop on and not go into standby...
