Hi guys,

I've just got my new Alienware m17 and I can't find a way to disable the "Lid Open" event. I've disabled the lid from making the system go into stand-by, but the moment I open the lid, it wakes up again. I've tried using :

Code:

powercfg -devicedisablewake "ACPI Lid"

But all I get is "You do not have permission to enable or disable device wake", and yes... I am logged in as an Administrator.

All lid related articles on this site (and others) seem only to refer to problems with Closing the lid rather than Opening it. I know it's a minor issue, but I don't want to wake up my system until I press the power button. I've even checked the BIOS settings but there isn't even a Power section.



Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Brink,

I've just renabled Hibernate and you're right! Opening the lid doesn't "wake" the system back up again. I think I'll stop using Sleep and use Hibernate instead from now on. Was never a fan of hibernation with XP but it seems like it works a bit better in Vista.

Cheers,
