Task Scheduler in XP?!!?

[Brian Yerk]

Account information could not be set and error
0x80070005 "Access is Denied" when setting XP task
scheduler to do anything. And i am setting with domain
admin username and pw! wtf?!!?

Any ideas? Microsoft's knowledge base and support crap
have nothing about it.

each task and click delete to remove
them.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Keep pressing the F8 key until the Windows Startup
menu appears.

issue.
