Hi... my computer gets booted at midnight every night ,I am with AOL so I get right back on again and it runs fine until midnight and the same thing happens again ,I am using winxp... cheers jimgil

I think there's a question in there somewhere and not just a comment :). So I'll assume that you want to know how to NOT make your computer boot nightly.

Windows XP maybe configured to automatically reboot when it encounters a severe error (Blue Screen). There maybe a process that runs nightly at or around midnight that is causing the error. What you can do is disable auto-reboot here:

- Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System
- Go to Advanced
- Go to Startup and Recovery section and click Settings
- Under System Failure un-check "Automatically restart"

So IF your computer is rebooting due to an error then at least you'll have a chance to see it on-screen (Blue Screen).

You should also check your Event Log and look for anything unusual. You can do that here:

- Go to Start -> Run
- Type eventvwr.msc /s in the dialogue box and hit enter

Browse the System and Application Event logs for anything unusual around midnight.

Before I go too far I'll wait to see if that is in fact what you're looking for.
