Automation is enabled.Yesterday, my PC ( Windows XP SP2 Home Edition ) was hibernating at 20h00. This morning the task was not launched.Robotask was not installed as service.Can someone help me ?Sincerely.

This happened because new day has begun.
Maybe, the scheduler is in need of improvement. I wrote this into our ToDo list.

HelloI've modified the schedule : 19:30 each Wednesday. At this time, I'm sure my computer is hibernating.I'll post the result tomorrow.

Ah, you mean like a "clean flag", "dirty flag" tied to a task. In windoze 2000 scheduler, if a task got skipped for any reason, then the status for the task sez "could not start". Then at least you know you've got some back tracking and clean up to do.
. . . . .
Wish: there was a cheap simple extension to the windoze scheduler to have it "start/re-try" un-run tasks. Oleg, could RoboTask do this "heavy lifting" ?
