I have an Acer Travelmate 6292 running Vista. When I connect a monitor and
close the lid of the notebook, the CPU jupms to 100% utilisation and the
notebook becomes extremley slow. I have changed the power settings for Lid
Closed to "Do nothing" If I leave the lid a little open, it operates ok. Only
when the lid is virtualy closed does the problem occur.

I would appreciate any advice.

Regards

run Task Manager so when you close the lid you can see "maybe" what is using the computer

I ran task manager but when the lid is closed the CPU readings hardly change
despite the total at the bottom of the window showing 100%
 
are you sure it is not the IDLE entry that is 100%.
if it is , that is good.

No, it is not the idle entry. The bottom of the task manager window shows CPU
100% and the notebook slows down to a snails pace. As soon as the lid is
opened slightly, the CPU drops down to 5 or 6% and behaves normally. The
computer speed also goes back to normal.
 
so it is in the border at the bottom you see 100%
take a look up the page and see which program is chewing up the cycles.

Acer have told me that it is a problem relating to Vista. Are your running
Vista ?

When I war running XP the notebook was fine with the lid closed. I have
another user with the same notebook running on XP and he is ok. It looks like
it could be a Vista issue. I will wait for the service pack release and see
if that fixes the problem.
