Can anyone help

How can I schedule my computer to startup at midnight, then run some scheduled tasks and then shutdown afterwards?
Thanks for any help

It's not possible to tell your computer to turn on at a set time unless you have an option to do so in your BIOS. It's possible you could get it to sleep then wake up again, but I doubt it.

You could enable wake-on-LAN on your ethernet card and ping it at midnight. This is a very far fetched option however.

Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
