Is there an ALARM that works all of the time my computer is on?

Thank you,

No. Windows XP has no native alarm program.

Seeing as I am not in your house looking or even listening to your system
how the hell would I know???
On the other hand errors when the system boots gives a series of beeps
also some systems have build in temperature alarms that go off when the
system CPU gets too hot..............
if all else fails you could dig out the manual and read it............

Are you saying it's giving and alarm and you want to know what it is, or
you want some type of program to sound an alarm?

One of the first things I learned was to RTFM.

I want to set a time to do something. E.g., if I want to defrag my
hard disk at 4pm, I'll set the alarm to awaken me at 3:55.

Ok, that's clearer. I don't use alarms on the computer but googling for
it should give you options. I use a little utility as a replacement for
the XP clock, called tclocklight. That has an alarm function with it.

Another option is to use the XP scheduled tasks feature to run things
when you want it.
