Configurable delays sound good.

Any thoughts as to why my system doesn't hibernate / standby from Boot Snooze, when it will do both when manually triggered from the Turn Off Computer menu?

Anything I can do to help you test?

OK testing version 1.0.1.3 and the buttons still don't show the whole text.

FYI the visual style I am using is Tener VS

Perhaps you could change the UI so that the label reads "Restart then..." and the buttons simply say Hibernate and Standby? But this may be bad user interface practice - I don't know!

As for Hibernation - it is enabled and works just fine if I do it manually. My suspicion is that Defence+ (part of Comodo Firewall) is preventing Boot Snooze from operating correctly by preventing some registry keys being created or something. I shall experiment with the firewall down / setting BS as a trusted app.

Thanks for the effort you are putting in to this :)

UPDATE: Added Boot Snooze as a trusted app, and also tried taking down the firewall, and still no Hibernation :(

Update 2: Tried with Standby - same result (reboots, message box appears with countdown, click the button to standby, but nothing happens).


Using WinXP SP3 (custom install - somewhat slimmed down - perhaps something important for Boot Snooze is missing?)

Still missing the words Hibernate and Standby with the newest build.

Also: my system shuts down, reboots, the Hibernate warning appears, but no Hibernation occurs.
I have been impatient and clicked the Hibernate now button, so don't know whether Hibernation happens at the end of 10 mins.
I have not tested Standby.

Great idea - will try it out now...

OK back - had an issue with the buttons not showing the full text. I am sure this has to do with my visual style. Indeed if i turn off the theme or reset to Luna the buttons look correct.

A mild annoyance, but can it be fixed?

It is a bloody brilliant game!

Definitely in my Top 10 - masterful storytelling.
