Task Schedule not working

[Guest]

Hi,

I have set up the task scheduler to start various programs (like Ad-aware,
spybot, synback, etc) to run at various schedules. The task schedule service
is Automatic as are its dependencies. However, the tasks do not run and every
time i start my computer there is a message stating that the tasks could not
be run at the scheduled time. Can you help figure out the problem?

Regards
