Inspiron 1100 turns off when closed

My Inspiron 1100 was having a few issues so i reformatted it with WinXP.  I have all the drivers in and it is running perfectly.  THe problem is when I close the laptop and open it back up the computer does not repsond.   I have to power off then on to get it working again.  How do i fix this?  I told it to never hibernate/turn off hard disk/turn off monitor and this didnt fix it.

    The default option in XP for when you close your laptop is for it to go into standby.

    Control panel> power options> advanced and under power buttons choose what you would like the laptop to do when you close the lid from the drop-down list.
