Making an alarm clock

yes pantera would definatly be much better im sure there are programs out there you can download. I would give www.downloads.com a shot, if not and you have basic computer programming knowledge, you could just program your own.

Did you try using the task scheduler in the control panel?

about a year ago i had win 98 setup to startup cdplayer at around 6am or so. did this by starting it with task manager and used i think /play with it so it would auto start. not sure how to do it with xp and media player.

there was either a way to display cdplayer.exe 's switches or i just fooled around with them until i found the right one.

I forgot my normal alarm somewhere once, so I hopped online and downloaded some software that was an alarm on the computer. It had the option of playing an audio file. I don't remember the name of the software right now. I'll check and post again when I get home.

Okay it's: Banshee Screamer Alarm You can find it at Download.com
