    Hey guys, at work I was issued an old arse HP. The programs I commonly use are Quickbooks and UPS to check shipping.I also use word to do purchase orders.
    Every morning the darn thing reboots and then most of the time runs ok(slow as crap, but works) for the rest of the day:doh: . It has win 2000 on it. Any Ideas ? I will see if I can find the vent viewer.... Any help is appreciated. - A

    If it specifically does on particular time then it means that there is a program settup in it which makes it to Reboot on specific time.
