| | vista freezing after closing my laptop i'm running windows vista home premium,and had many times closed my laptop(foling the screen to my keyboard side) without problems. but today if i open my laptop again windows is completely frozen nothing moves,and i only see the screen i saw when i closed my laptop. i've double-checked and as i expected,the setting for closing my laptop is that it shouldn't do anything(so all it does is turn off the screen while it's closed) i have no screensaver. could it be it suddenly got a conflict with my setting that after 15-20 minutes my display is turned off?(15-on battery,20-on power cable) for extra information: http://www.myfilestash.com/userfiles...ter/DxDiag.txt DXdiag report. |

| | Re: vista freezing after closing my laptop Have you updated the BIOS? Could you tell us the specs? Have you updated the video drivers?

| | Re: vista freezing after closing my laptop my most recent "update" of a driver was my graphics card driver. this was a few days ago,and was neccesery because a program tried to forcefully install directX9 on my PC,this caused my drivers to become partially corrupted. i reinstalled the drivers with the exact same version(since it was the latest available version) tough this can't be the problem last night i left my laptop running the whole night,closed. and in the morning it was still working normally. however during the afternoon it started freezing(only difference between the 2 situations is that during the night i had my laptop plugged into the power,however besides the screen turn-off time there's no difference in the settings for battery and powercable settings) "Andre Da Costa[ActiveWin]" wrote: Quote: > Have you updated the BIOS?

| | Re: vista freezing after closing my laptop Did you uninstall the corrupted Graphics Driver first? Remnants of the corrupted one could be the prob.

| | Re: vista freezing after closing my laptop seems the problem fixed itself haven't had any problems since i posted this topic. i think the setup of my graphics driver removed the previous version first, and if not it would overwrite it completely anyway.
