    I want to download any file (via torrent or download manager) and I want to close my laptop lid too. As I know, it is not possible but is there any way to do this that downloading will be continue even after closing the lid.

    The reason your download stops isn't because you closed the lid, but because closing the lid is causing your laptop to enter sleep mode.

    You need to go into control panel in Windows, or System Preferences in OS X and change that behavior.

    i've had a problem for the last couple of days where the resolution on my laptop changes when i close the lid

    i'm running windows xp professional sp2 on a dell inspiron 1501
    the video chip is an ati radeon xpress 1150 according to the catalyst control center software i've got installed which i think came with the drivers or something

    i've seen this happen before but i installed an old game called road rash a couple days ago after seeing it mentioned on reddit and i'm wondering if it might be related

    anyone know how i can stop this from happening? i have a workaround where i can manually change the resolution to something else and then change it back but that's a lot of work to do every time i close the laptop which is a lot

    thanks!

    I had this with a few Dell laptops belonging to clients which had Nvidia chips.

    The solution was to update the drivers.

    I have had a look at the ATI website and cannot see an update but take a look at this Dell support page - I do not know if this was the original driver or a update, but hopefully it can help you.
