I am having difficulty on my Win2K-Server because my Task
Scheduler is not automatically starting and I can't start
it manually. I open the Services console and attempt to
start Task Scheduler manually but it fails to start and I
get the following error message:

"Could not start the Task Scheduler service on Local
Computer."
"Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or
control request in a timely fashion."

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Check to see if your schedlgu.txt is read only:

1. Start Windows Explorer.

2. Locate the Schedlgu.txt file in the %SystemRoot% folder.

3. Right-click the Schedlgu.txt file, and then click Properties.

4. Clear the "Read-only" check box, and then click OK.
