Closing the lid usually makes the laptop go into sleep mode or hibernate or whatever it is called. Games do not like that when they are running. Atleast, older games used to. DW is not much different than Subcommand graphics wise. A solution would be to go to the power setting in configuration panel in windows and see if you can find a option that says what the laptop does when you close the lid. (What Windows version do you have?) 'Nothing' would keep the machine awake, it however does maintain a high power consumption . Which may drain you battery if it is not plugged in. (and perhaps cooling problems due to bad circulation/heat radiation)
And if you want to go away from your laptop for a while, why not save the game before you do it? Loosing 3 hours of game-play is preventable.
