Thanks for the idea. I tried going into my bios and found what you
were referring to. I set it to "Start Up after Power Restored". I then
shut the computer down and unplugged it. When I re-plugged it in to
power, nothing happened. I am not sure if there is a mother board
jumper that I might have to check. Perhaps I will have to do something
like Frank suggested. I will check out some of the computer newsgroup
forums as well. I hope I can get it to work. I am not interested in
shutting it off, only turning it on. I can shut it off easily enough
from the mouse.
