I have no idea what you did. One thing that comes to mind is BIOS settings. There are often "Wake On" settings: wake on Ring, wake on LAN, and some systems have a "wake on RTC" (real time clock) or "wake on alarm" setting. Perhaps you set times in the BIOS menus for a setting of this type?

Glad to have helped and to hear that things are now setup the way that you want them to be! No need to make a donation but if you feel compelled, I'll suggest one that another MVP (that I know personally) actively supports as it hits rather close to home for his family: http://www.dougknox.com/give2jdrf.htm SignatureSharon F MS-MVP ~ Windows Shell/User SignatureS Burch > > I did reply to this message originaly to let you know i was going to > > check your suggestion because i was in there poking around and it was [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > another MVP (that I know personally) actively supports as it hits rather > close to home for his family: http://www.dougknox.com/give2jdrf.htm |
