I have one windows machine that just won't stay hibernated or turned off, even. I have to physically switch the power supply off on the back of the case in order to keep the machine turned off. I have no idea what could be causing this. At some point, I'll have to scrape the machine clean and reinstall windows.
Hopefully, this isn't what's happening with your machine. To make sure that this isn't a SCPowerTool.exe bug, would you be willing to try the following? 1. Reboot your machine. Then delete all instances of SCPowerTool.exe. 2. Download PsShutdown from Sysinternals: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897541.aspx and copy psshutdown.exe to c:\windows. 3. Change the hibernate command line in the SrvrPowerCtrl settings to: Code: -------------------- C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start /B psshutdown.exe -accepteula -c -f -h -t 20 -------------------- Now try using SrvrPowerCtrl to hibernate the machine and report back if the machine stays hibernated or not. If it does, then you've probably uncovered a bug in SCPowerTool.exe and we'll have to debug this further. However, if you machine still wakes up prematurely using psshutdown.exe, then the problem is with something with your machine rather than with SrvrPowerCtrl. In that case, the only thing I could suggest is that you carefully check the power settings for your network card. In WinXP, this would be: right click on the My Network Places icon and select "settings"; right-click on your local area connection and select "properties"; click the "Configure" button for the "Connect using" network card; click the "Power Management" tab and make sure that "Only allow mangement stations to bring the computer out of standby" is checked. If it is already, then I don't know what else to suggest. -- 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/mailman/listinfo/plugins
