Each time I boot up the task scheduler is disabled and it wont start. I
have to run a tweak (winsockxpfix.exe) to get it going. This follows a bad
trojan attack which McAfee Viruscan supposedly got rid of.
The trojan wiped my system restore points (or something did) so I can't
system restore. Registry Mechanic can't fix it. Is there anything I can
do to permanently fix this problem?

Hi

From Start>Run type

services.msc

then scroll down the list to the Task Scheduler Service. Make sure it is
running - if not, right click on it and select Start. Then right click on
it again and select Properties - make sure that the drop down menu is set to
'Automatic'.

If that still doesn't help you could be looking at a 'Repair' install:

Thanks Will, I'll wait to see all replies first. If I do a re-install is
there any particular item that I should pick on the CD or let it do its
thing?

Hi

A reinstall is normally the last resort, but I don't know winsockxpfix.exe
and what it does. Is System Restore working properly now?

Sys. restore is working but will only go to yesterday. That 'fix" was
something I found on one of the discussion groups from Explicit Software
Solutions.

Sorry to sound dumb, where do I find the logfile? FYI in
properties/dependancies it says "this service relies on RPC (remote
procedure call)" not sure why it says that.

Would a visit to something like PCDocRX be worth the money or are those

Noone has found a solution to this. The error is also known as 1721 (in Event Log). It's RPC that is out of resources.

You can try this (File Export before you delete)
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;327649

Is RPC working. Are you on a network?
