    Hello I have a hard time waking up in the morning, I tend to just close the alarm and fall back asleep (twice, I have two alarm clock) plus waking up with a beep beep wake me up in a bad mood to start the day so I found a scrip which start iTunes and placed it in scheduled task

    The probleme is that it work when I am in standby mode but not in hibernation mode. Because I believe the hibernate buton as wake event disabled by default but I have no idea how to enable it.

    Any idea???

    I'm not sure you can wake from hibernation mode via a software switch. I think hibernation turns off the system completly and the wake signal is only sent by hardware (open lid, touch some key etc). But then again I'm no expert in these things, maybe if you schedule a system wake up through bios (if there is such option).

    If is possible then have a look in task scheduler (Start orb thing and type task scheduler), it should be there. I know there is an option you have to click to allow the task to wake up the computer but I knew in xp it was not waking the computer from hibernation, maybe vista is smarter :).

    Yes there is an option in xp and it can work but as I said the default hibernate button deactivate it

    It work most of the time but it put me in a bad mood.
    You should try waking up with your own music, it is much more agreable and soft
