The vista firewall shuts off on its own whenever my Acer laptop is shutdown or goes into standby. I have no other firewall installed although I did have MacAfee at one time. I run spybot and adware all the time so I doubt it's spyware. Does anyone know what could cause this? Thanks, Brian |

If the urge ever arises, don't ask us how to fix your task scheduler when it fails to run when you shut your computer down! |

Thanks for the nice reply. Vistas firewall always started on its own until recently. Maybe you did not understand the original post.

So now that it's clear to you, it was clear to most already, tell him what the solution is. |

Erm, well actually you can use the Task Scheduler to wake up the computer to do tasks. ss. |

It is the result of a highly-focused effort on my part - which took many years, by the way - to elevate this skill to its current level of mastery. I think it still needs some tweaking, but I probably have a few good years left at the keyboard before Alzheimer's sets in. |

It's quite difficult for the task scheduler to wake a computer that is totally shut down. One might even say that it's impossible. |

It's quite difficult for the task scheduler to wake a computer that is totally shut down. One might even say that it's impossible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well that shows how much you know.. I wake up my computers that have been turned off very often, through a WoL (Wake-on-LAN) page on one of my websites, when I want to access them through Remote Desktop. I can also wake them up within the LAN once I am accessing my server, which is never turned off. Computers still use ~5W when they are turned off, and when WoL is enabled, the NIC is still on. You have to turn them off using the switch on the PSU, or physically unplug them from the mains to totally shut a computer down. You can also set the computer to turn on automatically at a time set in the BIOS settings of most computers. And finally, yes, you can set Task Scheduler to turn a (ACPI) computer on, as well. Computers have been using ACPI for over a decade, so you have a bit of catching up to do. Have you even tried using it? ss. |

I installed a free one from Webroot that blocks both incoming and outgoing, and it's working fine on Vista.
