Vista

This question relates to my ACER laptop running Windows VISTA.

Currently when I close the lid of my laptop the laptop does not power down, however when I open the lid it does. When looking at the power settings it is set to power down when closing the lid. The trigger to this seems to be the lid being opened not being closed.

I seem to recall this behaviour changing when I installed Windows Media centre.

Any ideas on how I can get the power down to work on the lid closing.

thanks
