| | Schedule a task with Vista task Scheduler wakes up computer and mo Hi all. In Windows XP when i create a new task with the task scheduler and i check for that task the option to wake up the computer when it's sleeping all is going fine, that is the computer wakes up at the specified hour performing the task and the monitor, as perfectly expected by me, remains off without waking up unless i move the mouse or i use the keyboard. Instead in Vista when i perform the same operation on the task scheduler the computer wakes up at the specified hour performing the task but waking up also the monitor that displays a black screen and the mouse pointer and it remains in this state until the task ends. This is not logic, i want the monitor to completely remains in standby exactly as it happens in Xp, unless it's me who uses the mouse or the keyboard. Why waking up the monitor not saving power only to display a black screen with a mouse pointer?? Is this something related to my settings or it's a general Vista bug, is there a way to correct it? I am using a new hp computer and a new monitor so they are all clearly compatible with all the last ACPI standards, for the monitor connection i am using the DVI interface. I have the same problem on my Vista laptop. Thanks a lot for reading me and trying to help me. Best regards Michele |

| | Vista task scheduler and sleep mode in Vista When you create a new task in the Vista task scheduler you have an option to let this task wake up the computer if it's sleeping. I want to know, if anyone of you know that, which of the embedded Windows Vista programs (Like disk defragment, Windows update etc.) support the ability to wake up the computer from sleeping using their internal scheduler. To be more clear i make an example: When you launch Vista disk defragment utility you have an option to schedule this task. Does this option support waking up the computer from sleeping? Can you kindly give me a list of Windows Vista applications (Only Microsoft applications embedded or not embedded in Vista, like, for example, Onecare) that support natively, with their internal task scheduler (Not through the Vista task scheduler), the ability to wake up the computer if it's sleeping? Thanks a lot Best regards Michele |
