I have a dell vostro 1500 with a 1680x1050 screen and an nvidia 8600m gt with the lastest laptopvideo2go drivers. When I shut the lid windows is set to do nothing, but it changes the resolution to something lower, screwing up my icons. I got a program to restore their positions, but I shouldn't have to. Also, and this just started happening, half the time when I open it or start windows now I have to press FN+F8 to even get it to turn the screen on. The LidBehavior=10 fix in the registry did nothing for me.
