It’s good work. Please try to add Option of capturing the desktop before the auto shutdown. It’s included in “AMP WinOFF” (freeware with closed source).

Hi Andy,

Can you tell me what time scheduling option are you using in Auto Shutdown? We have three types:

1- Scheduling based on the current time (e.g 10 mins from now).

2- Weekly Schedules.

3- Specific date and time.

If you choose specific date and time, it shows you two boxes; one for entering date, and the other for entering time. If you keep date box to today’s date, and set only time field, then it does not work as you expected.

To make it work, you should set date field to tomorrow, and time to whatever you want. This way, it will do the job on the specified date and time.

Regards,
Ali

Love your product

One thing that really annoys me – if I set the time for like 3AM – it should shutdown the computer for the following day at this time.

i.e. Lets say its currently 12PM and I set 3AM – then it should set the shutdown for 3AM the following day. At the moment, if I set it for 3AM – it won’t activate unless I do it at 12:01AM.

Is it possible to set this up ? i.e. basically, if the time has passed already – do it for the next day ?

Thx

@Jashua, It seems something's wrong with your time settings. Please go to "Control Panel | Region and Language", then in Formats page, click on "Additional settings..", then go to Time page, and check what is selected for AM Symbol, and PM Symbol. Also check what is written in Short Time, and Long Time boxes. They must look like hh:mm tt and hh:mm:ss tt. Please notice at tt at the end of the strings.

@Central Pharmacy; Could you please send me more information? I need this info to investigate the case:
1- What version of Auto Shutdown are you using? (You can find version number in About page).
2- What version of Windows are you using? (e.g. XP. Vista, Se7en, etc.).
3- Which scheduling did you choose in Options page?
4- What error message do you receive?

You can e-mail me this info so that I can investigate the case, and fix the reported bug. My email address is available in this link.

Regards

Sometimes when I start up my computer I get this error:

Access violation at address 004D3119 in module ‘AutoShutdown.exe’. Read of address 00000038.

It still seems to run ok.

@SmartedPAnda, if Sleep mode is enabled in your Windows 7, then selecting Standby in Auto Shutdown as the selected action should put your system in Sleep mode.

Have you tried that?
