Task scheduler - anyone??

[Jay]

Happened a few times recently.....

I return to my laptop and there is an error on screen saying that task
scheduler has stopped working and something about DEP.

I just opened TS via computer management and I get an instant message (not
MSN!)....
Catastrophic failure (exception from hresult 0x8000ffff (E_Unexpected))
This is accompanied by another that says....
An error has occurred for task reminders - Jay. Error message: The specified
account name is not valid.

Any ideas?

I get these in the system event log:
Task Scheduler service failed to launch tasks triggered by computer startup.
Additional Data: Error Value: 2147549183. User Action: restart task
scheduler service.
and
The Net.Msmq Listener Adapter service depends the following service: msmq.
This service might not be installed.

These entries appear daily but not at the same time (5.30pm or 6.30pm or
7.30pm)

I seem to have several tasks (all unknown to me) that stopped/started around
the time tonight's errors occurred.

Hotstart (running)
NAPStatus (stopped at same time hotstart started)
Reminders - Jay (last run succeeded at same time other 2 stopped/started)

The above could be coincidental as I rebooted around this time.

Help please.

are you using the same logon/password that you used when the schedule was created.

I may have changed my password on my account named "Jay" which is an admin
account
Which may explain this message - An error has occurred for task reminders -
Jay. Error message: The specified
account name is not valid.

But then I don't remember creating any scheduled tasks.
I have experience with TS in Win2k, XP and Win2.3k but this new interface
has me lost.
It doesn't help having catastophic errors while trying to nav through the
nodes either.
I can't find the particular task (reminder??) it is referring to in order to
edit it or whatever needs doing.
