Hello.

My girlfriend has a Dell Studio Laptop (PP33L) and when you shut the lid on it, then come back to it later, you can enter your password to get logged back in but it is frozen and the only way to get it to work is to hard power it off and start it again.  The OS is Vista with all the service packs/updates etc. 

I have tried changing the settings for 'when the lid is closed' to sleep and also hibernate but both have the same issues.

Any ideas on what the issues/solutions are?  Thanks!
