In power settings, the only options for actions taken when closing the lid are hibernate, turn off, and standby. Is there anyway i can make the screen turn off while keeping the computer on when i close my lid?

I'm assuming you have a I6000. In my I6000, the screen automatically turns off when I close the lid. It came like that, I didn't see any setting for it.

you need to download the NOtebook sys software, and install it.

should fix the problem.

The screen will turn off automatically when you close the lid, just set the power options to "Do Nothing".

No.

I would like to do the same thing you're talking about, but I can't find a way.

*PROBLEM SOLVED*

However, I can't pinpoint the solution. Either the Notebook system software or the dell vid card drivers remedied it. I installed the dell ATI X300 Drivers AND the Notebook system software at the same time, so i'm unsure which one solved the problem.
