Task Scheduler Error - 0x8007007A (data area too small)

S

Spyro Gumas

I am trying to set up a scheduled task. First I had no
user password and I read somewhere that Scheduler
requires a password. So now I have a password. When I
create a task and enter user account information, I get
the following error:

0x8007007a: The data area passed to a system call is too
small

How can I get passed this so my scheduled tasks will run?

Thanks,
Spyro Gumas
