    So when you close the dell notebook lid, it goes to sleep or something or stand by. How do I stop it from doing so? Please answer ASAP because I do not know when/if a moderator will see me...

    if your in Vista which I assume.

    You click on the battery icon goto power options then advanced options. The in there there is selections for what do to when you close the lid or press teh power button and other things. Just set it to do nothing when you close the lid and your problem should be gone.

    1) Why would he make an account with the same name as his banned one? Why not just make 4578434ggg as an account name

    2) Why would he talk about the moderator thing, isn't that too obvious? It's like saying quick drive me to the airport before the police gets here...
