I have purchased a port replicator and an external monitor to use with my
laptop. I can set Windows XP so that the external monitor is my sole
monitor. However, when I try to close the laptop so that I can use an
external keyboard, the laptop goes into hibernation. How can I physically
shut the laptop, but keep everything running?
