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)

Re: vista freezing after closing my laptop

Have you updated the BIOS? Could you tell us the specs? Have you updated the
video drivers? Sounds like issues with Power Management.

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)

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.
