Re: [OT] Is there any software to awaken PC from "Stand By" ?....IT WORKS !

["Gary" <questuk1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your help so far...

just to let you know, had to enable itr in the Bios "RTC alarm power
on" then set a time for it to wake up.... and magically..lol it
started up all on its own!


Just one more problem... is there a way of bypassing or disabling the
"To begin click user name" log on page any ideas?



Regards


Gary
