    Yes that is how mine works also. This sounds normal to me. If I leave the machine for less than 15 minutes, I normally use sleep, and shutdown when I am done for the 'day'. Good luck with your system

    I believe any key would work. Just hit the space bar after opening the lid. I think its meant to stay off until you hit a key.

    thats strange, you downloaded the x64 right? and you have win 7 64 bit correct? It should work then....

    edit - o wait, I'm sorry. there isn't any need for you to install this. I re-read the first post and what you are experiencing is normal. when you close your lid, your screen turn black, then you open it up, and press the power button to resume windows.

    yea, thats normal. Also, I suggest you keep it like that. dont' change it to where it doesn't hybernate or sleep. If you set it to not do anything when the lid closes, it could be risky if you keep it closed too long as air is sucked in from your keyboard area. you don't want it to overheat.
