When you start your computer, one of the first messages you get should tell you to press Del, F2, F12, or some other key, to enter SETUP. This will take you into your BIOS settings. Be careful to not change any settings that you do not understand! There is very likely to be an area, possibly around Boot Options, that will give you an option to wake the computer up at a certain time. After doing that you will have to Exit while remembering to Save your changes. ss. |

| | Re: Can my I make my PC start automatically/use it as an alarm clo G - It's quite simple, if you haven't figured it out yet. Start your computer, press F2 or whatever it is on yor machine to enter Setup. Scroll down to Power Management. On your right you see Auto Power On. Go from there. You use keys for this per instructions lower left.

How can Task Scheduler wake up the computer? It will only be able to do this from Standby, or Sleep mode. ss. |

| | Re: Can my I make my PC start automatically/use it as an alarm clo G - I decided to try it out so as not to steer you wrong. Works perfectly! Setting the time is easy. Don't know how this will wake you up, though. Are you a really light sleeper?

Well done with your accomplishment, but you keep on replying to the wrong person. Highlight the post of the person you are replying to before pressing Reply. ss. |

Is there a simple tutorial on using Windows Mail newsgroups?
