Dear all, i submit again my problem, hoping somebody can help me. Of course, i 
simply don't close the monitor of my laptop and so i'm skipping the problem, 
but of course it is still here: I'm in an "open" office, and usually when 
somebody notice my laptop locked but open, well, the temptation to close it 
seems unavoidable. 

Perhaps i didn't provide enough information. If this is the case, please just 
let me know. 

Thanks & have a nice day

Rosanna
