    Automatic computer boot at a certain time and a certain date
    « on: November 26, 2011, 06:07:06 AM »
    Using:
    Windows XP service pack 3
    Gateway computer
    Less than 1GB RAM
    Harddrive size about 20GB

    How do I automatly boot my computer at a certain time and at aa certain date. This computer is really old so it does not have it in the BIOS settings. Is there any 3rd party softesware or a trick to get it

    Do you mean boot it from cold? If it is not in the BIOS settings you are probably out of luck.

      Which part didn't you understand? How can you run software on a switched-off computer?

      [Edit]

      If your BIOS has "boot after power failure" or "Restore from AC power loss" setting,



      you could use one of these
