Vista wakes up at 7:00am every morning

Pretty much as the title says really, I put the PC to sleep at night,
everything is fine, but it insists on waking up at exactly 7:00am every
morning. And it won't then fall back to sleep either, at least not on it's
own. I have to unlock it, then put it to sleep again manually.

So, how can I find out what's waking it up every morning?

Thanks,
Tom

Hello,

Could be some scheduled task or an automated anti-virus test ? Check under Start/Accessories/System
tools/task scheduler.
