Laptop help.

HoPpiE · 2009-07-07 23:51:17

Just wondering is there any way that I can keep my laptop connected to the network while the screen is closed down? It automatically goes into sleep/hibernate when I close it now. It's an Advent K200 Vista OS if that's any help. Any help appreciated!

1. Click Start -> Control Panel
2. Double click on Power Options, then select advanced tab.
3. Under "When I close the lid of my portable computer:" select do nothing and press ok.

Should work then.
