216766 2004-02-20 05:25:00 is there a software that can set a time for you're computer to start itself??
ie. like 7am so when i get downstairs the comp is already on??

i've had a look at Blackbird's Wakeup Tools but hasn't got it workin coz it's not in english..


any other programs out there that can do the same thing??

216767 2004-02-20 11:21:00 Check your BIOS for an option for Automatic Power Up (or similar). It will allow you to set a regular time for the computer to automatically turn on. Have a look at your motherboard manual for more details. Jen C (20)
216768 2004-02-20 11:46:00 umm.. how about your index finger?

Seriously, what could possibl require you to have your home PC booted up when you get downstairs?

Saves you what 45 - 60 seconds as opposed to pushing the button, walking past doine something else and then coming back.

216770 2004-02-20 19:29:00 WTF, he was asking a valid question. he wasn't asking for people saying how bad the idea is. i believe this is a forum for self help, not critisim.[/ramble]

wouldn't windows scheduler do it? my computer will start up out of hibernate @ 3:00 to install downloads, then go back to hibernate 1 hour later. no me involved.

if you tell it to wake up @ 7 or so, put it in hibernate, it should work. try and see.
