Try going into the Control Panel, and selecting Power Management.  There might be an option in there to change what the computer does when the "lid" is closed.

1. Go to Start > Run\n\n2. Copy and paste this text into the small window (without quotes):\n"powercfg /g off /option videodim"\n\n3. Click OK\n\nIf you want to re-enable dimming on battery power, replace "off" with "on"

Try right clicking on the software's icon (If it's on the desktop) and go down to "properties" You should probably be able to set when the software is active.

Best thing to do is to keep in on standby mode. This does not eat up your battery as much and any key tap will bring it back up in about4 seconds. Thats the closest you will come to instant on. The time windows takes to load up is long compared to instant on so the only way around that is not to shut down windows so it does not need time to turn on. (cause its already on!) Check out microsofts website here for more details on power management. Good luck!

just leave it on.\n\nthat's my answer.  but you do have to edit your power preferences so your computer doesn't turn off after 2 hours of non use.  other than that, I don't know.
