I'd like to know as well...

Better yet, anyone know how to set up MMC (or other app) to run as a service
in Win2K3 to capture video on a schedule even when no user is logged into
the machine?


For your question, you could set the PC to "wake up" at a specific time in
the BIOS settings. Many mainboards offer that feature.

I have tried this by pressing ctrl + L, thinking I could just set the
timer and lock the maching out. After a dozen or so times of doing
this with the program sitting there locked up when I go back into the
desktop. This is the closest answer I could find. It cannot be done
from what I've read. Because of a video overlay the ATI card must
create on order to record. I'll let you read it. I thought it would
be nice to just set the scheduler and lock out the machine from my
kids tinkering fingers.

Here is the topic covered.
