how can I auto-restart after power failures?
I'm running WinXp pro on a PC with the following specs:
Gigabyte GA-8INXP MB, P4 2.4ghz processor, ATI Radeon 7500, 2 WD 160GB HDDs in RAID1, 512mb PC2700DDR. Power supply is 400W. I have several video cameras recording onto the drives. I would really, really like the system to restart itself if the power goes out & comes back on, without me having to be around. I've checked settings in the BIOS, ACPI is enabled, and it's supposed to fire back up, but doesn't. Any inspiration out there?! Thx, Jimbo |

I do not believe the solution lies in customizing Windows XP. Rather check for a BIOS upgrade, or contact your motherboard vendor, etc. dOinK "Jimbo" wrote in message ...
