SCHEDULER STANDBY MISSED TASKS

When I select the "Home/Office Desk" option in Power Options, the Scheduler
fails to run when the XP system enters Standby. When I re-activate the
machine, I get reports of "Missed Tasks" because the Scheduler failed to run.

I am using a brand new XP machine - less than 2 weeks old.

Any ideas on a fix?

Thanks,
Henry

Go to Control Panel and open Scheduled Tasks.
Right click one of the tasks that was missed and select
Properties.
Click on the Settings tab.
Put a check mark in the box next to "Wake the computer to run
this task".
Do the same for the other tasks that were reported as missed.

In control panel | Scheduled Tasks, in the properties for the task that
is missed on the settings tab is the box checked for "Wake the computer
to run this task"?
