Hello sir,

I want to set my pc to turn off and turn on automatically. I have pinnacle video studio software and I want to turn off everyday at 12:00 P.M and turn it on with Pinnacle Video application by morning at: 5:00 A.M. I have also searched in Pinnacle and there is no option for do so. How can I do this. Please let me know.

Regards
Srikanth Shet

Automatic off is ok, automatic on is not.
If the PC (with any OS) is turned off, how can you turn it on. Some one must press the power button.

You can schedule sleep and wake up windows using any third party application.

turning on - this can be done by tweaking some clock settings in your BIOS.... :)
