    I recently did a clean install of Vista x64, and when I was downloading all the necessary software, I noticed that there was a new version of Power Manager. However, now I find that the Lock on Lid Close function no longer works, even though I checked the appropriate box in the Global Power Setting tab. I've tried reinstalling Power Manager (I even reinstalled Windows, but for other reasons), but to no avail. Is this an issue with the new Power Manager? Does anyone else have this problem?

    I noticed this too. Really annoying. It still locks when the screensaver comes on, but not when the lid closes. Sucks.
