Turn on monitor at certain time
Hey! I have to wake up at 5:30AM every morning, as some of you I'm sure know, it's pretty difficult. I notice that I cant stand to say in bed when there is light in the room, and I was thinking I would buy a lamp timer to turn my lamp on every morning. But, I was wondering if there was a program to turn my monitor on every morning. Usually my monitor is in the stand-by mode, so the computer would have to pop on the screen like when you move the mouse.
Any ideas? Thanks!!

Try setting AVG to do its daily scan at 5:30am, this may pop the monitor out of standby.

Not clear what you're having a problem with. If the trial works for you (?) buy it; if nor uninstall it. |
