I currently have my lap top connected to a desktop monitor. In order to keep the computer on, I must keep the lid to the lap top open, when i shut it to make more room on the desk the computer turns completely off. Is there a setting I can change to prevent this from happening when I'm connected to the desktop monitor?

How do I do the split screen?

Display Settings > Screen Saver tab. > Click on the Power button at the bottom. > In the Power Options Properties, click on the Advanced tab. > In the lower half of the screen there should be a section called Power Buttons. In the selection for "When I close the lid of my portable computer" click on the pull down tab and select "Do nothing"
Click on OK. Click on OK on the Display Properties.
Just remember to suspend/hibernate/turn off your laptop when you are done. Otherwise you will have a dead battery when you next try to use it.

Most laptops have a setting in BIOS for that. Another option thats cool with laptops is you can do a split screen and use both screens at once.

i wish that i'm reading your question good and if not, sorry for the lame answer... you may boost the apparant length of your laptop (and subsequently decrease the size of the icons and textual content textile) with the help of going to the reveal settings in the administration Panel. pass to the settings tab and boost the reveal screen decision. be conscious: Laptops (and liquid crystal reveal video reveal units) have a set variety of pixels and you relatively could stay on the default putting. you may observe some distortion with the help of increasing this putting. wish this facilitates...

no. laptops go into a hibernation mode when closed. the only way around it is to put in a docking station, if your laptop supports it.
