xp starts up pc every day
 |
Just installed xp home. Every day my pc boots up (when powered off) and goes to login page (this occurs at the same time daily). I have disabled all bios start up features. It appears that its trying to send an at command? this does not happen when i use my old 98 drive. Auto updates is desabledand some tasks (messenger, remote registry...)
I have the latest service pack and all updates installed to date.

And what kind of modem at you using that requires you to type AT commands directly too, for it to wake up? That is like the old days of Windows 3.11 or even older. Commodore 64 Days.
Never ran across a modem in the last 5 years that needs
to be "awakened".
How do you know it is trying to send an AT command? Tried removing the modem?
Have you installed XP Service Pack?

Faranth: All my bios startup managment tools are disabled.
Paladine: Using US Robotics. An AT command is the standard wake up to all modems. The modem is not the problem works fine with win98. All microsoft updates are current. By reviewing the "Event viewer" you can see the history of what is happening on your pc.

Try resetting the BIOS using the CMOS-reset jumper and reprogram it.
