[QUOTE="Pletskop, post: 406997, member: 86913"] Maybe too obvious but... I'll have a shot at it anyway. As non of you have provided their configuration, I am assuming you are using MP+TVS. There are two areas where you need to configure Powerscheduler: in TVS and in MP [Powerscheduler Client]. In TVS you generally specify it to shutdown after x mins of activity. You can prevent it from shutting down by specifying specific processes, iexplore.exe. In MP you can specify that it should only start a shutdown when you are on the home window. In my specific situation, I have configured Powerscheduler Client to only shutdown the machine if I'm on the home window. I have configured the Powerscheduler to shutdown after 5 mins. This way, in order to shutdown my machine [Vista], I go to the home screen and leave it there for 5 mins. If I'm working on the desktop [with MP shutdown], I always fire up IE and have configured Powerscheduler not to shutdown if that process is running. Note: If you go to the Home window in MP with IE still running in the background, it will not go to sleep of course. The problem with the shutdown during a reboor cycle is not preventable as far as I know. It all depends on the timing. The Powerscheduler Client is no longer preventing a shutdown as MP is closed and the only timer still active at that time is the Powerscheduler in TVS. If that time has gone to 0 during the reboot cycle, it will suspend the system. Regards, Peter [/QUOTE]
