My computer is constantly running and I am scared of losing a lot of the pictures and letters. I am too cheap to buy a cd burner and I am too broke to buy anything else. If I am running Windows XP home and I want to turn off the computer automatically at the same time every night is that possible?
I know it's been forever since you've asked this,
but there's a great program I use.
It's called PC Auto Shutdown. It's small and you can set a timer so it automatically shuts down your computer every night for you.

There are a few free backup services out there. A good one is Xdrive: http://www.xdrive.com/backup.jsp
You get 5 GB free (which should backup most of your data), so you can stop worrying about losing your stuff.
Erm... Unless your computer shuts off randomly and without notice, You dont need a backup program. Your stuff should be fine in that case.
