    Hey, I'm look to get myself one of thoese reminder programs that will remind me to take a break from my computer. However all the ones on the MG website are a little to advanced for what I need. All I need is something that will run in my system tray and play a short beep every 50 mins and then another one 10 mins after that. E.G 50 mins gaming > 10 mins resting. Thats all! I don't need any eye relaxation text or exersices just plain and simple.

    Any suggestions? If not I'll just have to make one myself and i can't really be bothered at the moment :p

    The simplest program I can think of is the Windows Task Scheduler. Get it to play a tune or open a notepad file with a message saying "Take a break".

    And the best thing is you've already got it. :)

    Nahh, that wouldn't work :( I need it to go off every 50 mins and the 10 mins after that, my task schedular can only do daily as the shortest :(

    Just do a search on Google for timer software.
