TVs Laptop Lids and Vista.

Does anyone know the solution to this? I've got the TV hooked up to the laptop (sound and all, thanks cush) but when I close the lid not only does it shut off my laptop screen it shuts off the HDMI feed as well. Im at a loss I want my lid shut and my HDMI on.

Is there not a function key on the keyboard (not sure which laptop you have), on my dell it's labeled "CRT/LCD" that will switch off the screen when connected to an external monitor. I know you've probably checked this but, that's the first thing that came to my mind.

Under the option to select what to do when the lid is closed on your laptop, select "Do Nothing"
