I would think that if you scheduled whatever tasks you
need conducted and then set the PC to go into standby
mode after the amt. of time needed to process these
tasks it should all work out.
This is what Win98's "Help" index points out:
"Open the Power Management Properties dialog box by
clicking Start, pointing to Settings, clicking Control
Panel, and clicking Power Management."
"In Power Schemes, click the arrow, and then select a
power scheme. *The time settings for the power scheme
are displayed* in System standby, Turn off monitor, and
Turn off hard disks."
It seems juggling the amt. of time of the "tasks" to be
conducted and setting the "power management" function
to engage at the appropriate time, after the scheduled
tasks are finished. This is what needs to be configured
so as not to interfere with each other, wouldn't you
say?
BTW, I've never used either of these functions on any
of my PCs. If only Santa would bring me a laptop...
