[QUOTE="DragonQ, post: 961733, member: 115209"] Under what specific circumstances does the "executable upon power change" run? I made a small program to unmute the master volume because sometimes the HTPC is muted when woken up. However, it happened again this morning despite PS++ set to run my (tested working) exe. :( EDIT: Looking at the logs, the system went to sleep at 01:21:08 and then woke up again at 01:22:05 (Event Viewer says reason is "unknown"). Then, MediaPortal tuned to BBC One HD (channel 1) and was left playing that (despite the TV being off) for the rest of the morning. PS++ kept reporting that "media playing" was preventing standby. I bet these two problems are linked - if the unmute program gets run whilst the TV is off, then it's going to be unmuting the main system volume. Then, when the TV is actually turned on, the default sound device changes to the TV (HDMI), which is for some reason muted. But why the hell is the HTPC waking up and playing media for no reason??
