I currently have a dell xps M1710 laptop running vista with an NVIDIA 7900 GS (256mb) and i'm trying to connect to a samsung LCD tv (LE19R86BDX) with a VGA cable.

I can get the image to appear on my tv ok, but everytime i close the laptop lid the image disappears. Obviously this is somewhat irritating because i want to keep the lid closed so i can use the TV as my main screen.

Is there anyway i can prevent the image going from my tv, or something along the lines of keeping it there?

Many thanks
