Hi Roger,

Is it possible to have a TrueBasic program running in a “sleep” mode where every 0.1 seconds or so it would become active and check to see if new information was stored in some file or on the clipboard? It would need to be in a “sleep” mode to keep it from using all of the computer processor time while it was waiting for that file or the clipboard contents to change.

If your computer will not boot when it is started then you probably have something drastically wrong. Some have a backup battery which fails. When the computer is on for a while the battery collects a temporary charge which will last for a day or so. And if the computer is not used fairly soon it looses that charge and will not start. If that boot problem continues you should probably take the computer to a repair shop and ask for some help.
