I have installed a number of these systems and have never had any problems
(well, besides the normal 95 ones).

There are a number of questions that need to be answered before we can
figure out what is causing the computer to turn on. Is a fax-modem
attached? The machine will turn on if the phone rings (assuming you have
not changed the defaults in the BIOS, etc.). Second, do you have automatic
backup or archive selected in Win95? It will also turn the machine on if
the defaults (I think it is set to backup at 2:30 a.m. or something like
that) were not changed. Thirdly, are any programs installed that have a
"cron-like" function, i.e. that perform some task automatically?

Hope this at least provides some food for thought...

Greetings,

Bruce
