When using my lap top to view things through the TV I have to leave the flap slightly raised because if I close it once transmission starts the picture gets cut off. This was never a problem in the past but now Bob the cat has seen the flickering on the laptop's surface he attacks it as he is a shadow chaser. What do I have to do to the laptop to close the flap but not loose the picture. Thanks in anticipation.

do nothing looks like the choice to make.

Thanks, I think that I will hibernate as it looks like we are in for a hotty. :hot:
