    Hi guys..

    I've installed XP on my 1330 XPS due to several problems with Vista.

    Anyway, I've noticed that when I close the lid, the monitor is still running. I can see light through the small strip between the lid and the keyboard.
    I tried to solve this problem in the "Power Options" at the control panel, but there I have only the option to decide if I want to computer goes to sleep mode when I close the lid.

    Do I need to install something in order to do that ? I thought it's "built in'..
    Thanks in advance,

    Yaniv.

    Did you install "Notebook System Software"?

    Hi guys..
    I searched for the Notebook System Software (None of them in the official Dell site) and before I download I'd like to know what's the last version ?

    p.s
    Can I find the Notebook System Software in the official site ?

    Thanks again.

    I'm sorry to flood the post but I have another question: Can I download the last 8400GS XP drivers from nvidia's site without any worry ?
    I know in past 1330's owners didn't have those drivers so it's very important to know those drivers are compatible.

    Thanks in the third time..
    Yaniv.
