With a standard Vista install, you can copy it (using an administrative cmd prompt or some other method that Vista is comfortable with) to C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32
That cancel message should be 15 seconds...not minutes! On most machines "sleep" == power state S3 == "standby". They are all names for the same thing. SrvrPowerCtrl is really designed to be used on machines which are more or less stand-alone SqueezeCenter servers. If your machine is one that you use regularly for other purposes, SrvrPowerCtrl will be of limited use to you. If this is the case, then I would suggest not using any of SrvrPowerCtrl's monitoring functions. You don't want your machine going to sleep on you when you're right in the middle of some important work! On the other hand, if this machine is primarily a SqueezeCenter server, then SrvrPowerCtrl's monitoring functions should work just fine for you. Think of SrvrPowerCtrl as replacing the little man in your PC that watches for key-strokes and mouse movements and resets the sleep timers accordingly. In SrvrPowerCtrl's case, it watches your SqueezeBoxes to see if they are playing and adjusts those sleep timers on that basis. So, if you are using SrvrPowerCtrl's monitoring functions, you can disable Windows' timed power settings, i.e. use the "Always On" power mode. I'm running a Vista-free shop here, so I don't have the ability to test SrvrPowerCtrl with Vista. Please let us know if it takes anything "special" to get this to work with Vista. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
