Macro Start from Standby Mode

Post by eveits » Wed Jun 23, 2004 12:54 am

I am using Windows XP Home and would like a macro to run while the computer is standby mode. Will Macro Scheduler start while the computer is in standby mode? Althought my macro runs if I start it manually and I have it scheduled to run at 5pm daily, it doesn't run if the computer is in standby. Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

You must be logged in to use the Macro Scheduler scheduling tools.

You may be able to overcome this by using another scheduling "service" application which will run when logged out. This could then call your Macro Scheduler script using the command line options. I am not sure what scheduling service you may have available with XP Home.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
