Windows 7: Wake the computer

Task Scheduler - Put Computer into Standby Mode

I'm not sure, you could ask that in that thread and Brink would let you know.

Now that I reset the wakeup time to what I want how do I schedule the "wake the computer" using the scheduler?

You should be able to do that with the second tutorial that Richc46 posted above.

waking up computer is a great idea

if you want to do it in a very SIMPLE way, use Crown Jetaudio, I used to use it to make my computer turn on and start playing music hopping I will wake up (A)
