[QUOTE="genivos, post: 699669, member: 57838"] I didn't see a proper resolution on this thread yet, tried everything here (even more! :D was almost going back to Vista :growl: ) and I was trying to figure it out myself as well. What worked for me: 1. Make one task waking up the PC at 4:55am and run ping <local router IP> 2. Second task to run the actual task at 5:00am (also turned on wake up in this task) It seems that when you use wake up and run the actual task you want to run in one task, it DOES wake up the PC but after a while (can be a day, couple days, week) it doesn't run the batch/script/whatever you want to run anymore. This way it seems to work fine for me, first wake up with one task, second run the util to fetch the tvguide. Furthermore I found a way to actually run the task with system privileges. Not sure if that is needed but it might be useful. I let it run with system privileges. Here is the information on how to do that: [url=http://iboyd.net/index.php/2010/10/15/scripting-a-scheduled-wakeup-in-windows-7-and-vista-too/](iBoyd) » Scripting a Scheduled Wakeup in Windows 7 (and Vista too!)[/url] Hope this helps for others as well! ;) [/QUOTE]
