I need to use my laptop computer as an alarm clock. The laptop is specifically an X301 running Vista Enterprise

Features I am looking for in this application, ordered by importance:

  1. Will work even if laptop is in sleep mode
  2. Is audible even if the OS volume is muted/low (automatically adjusts OS volume)
  3. Customizable alarm sound
  4. Snooze (with customizable interval)
  5. Gradually increases alarm sound

Sidenote: I usually use the alarm clock on my cell phone, but it was stolen yesterday :(

There was an alarm clock power toy for XP Media Center Edition (it won't work on Home or Pro).

...only useful if we know what version of Windows your running.
