InstantON lets you schedule your PC to work automatically, whether you are there or not: Leave your Windows* 95 system powered on, and you can schedule system tools like ScanDisk to run late at night, or outgoing faxes to be sent when the rates are low.

And if your PC supports power management, don't turn it off -- switch it to low power and it can always be available, staying in low power until you need it. With power management your PC can conserve power and still wake up quickly enough to receive an incoming FAX or when you move the mouse.

InstantOn is a Windows 95 applet developed by Intel Architecture Labs to support advanced, always available PC usage models. InstantOn uses the power management features of an APM BIOS and Windows 95 power management drivers to support scheduling across power states, combining a flexible interface with the ability to schedule Windows applications.
Please note that the power management features of InstantOn assume an APM BIOS is on the PC; these features will not work on newer ACPI-enabled systems. No technical support provided for this applet and no updates are currently planned.
