What I want to do is put my computer on stand-by after an hour approximately.

I can't use energy profiles because the computer will still be running a game which eliminates the idle condition.
I can't use scheduled tasks because I don't know a command that will put the computer to stand-by when hibernation is activated *.
I could use a program that does it for me, but I'd rather do it with the tools that Windows 7 offers to me.

* I've almost found the solution by scheduling a .bat with the following line:
rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState
However when I have Hibernation active it will suspend to disk (hibernate) instead suspend to RAM (stand-by).
I've found claims that adding " Standby" to that line would work, but it doesn't for me. (Windows bug?)

It works if you turn off hibernation.

Just make an autoit script which presses the "sleep" virtual key.

Symmetry shouted: Another map maker? Damn we really ARE back

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:

Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.

I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
