Automatic restart after power failure
I have to leave my computer unattended for weeks at a time. I use the computer to monitor my home. If the power fails and then returns, I would like for my computer to automatically restart and load Windows. How do I make this happen?
I am running Windows XP on a Inspiron 700m.
Thanks,
Rich

Hello,
Sorry, but your laptop does not support this feature.

If it did support it, it would be a BIOS setting dealing what the system should do after a power failure. The options are usually "stay off", "turn on" and "same state" (e.g., if it was off, it stays off, if it was on it restarts). I believe dbk is correct that it doesn't support it, however.
