Task Scheduler Will Not Run - WIndows XP

[Joe]

My scheduled tasks will not run.

I am receiving the following error:

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

Any ideas? I found a reference to Windows 2000 in the
knowledge base but nothing to Windows XP.

Hi,
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18 and delete the files in there.
Scheduled Tasks will recreate the files needed.

Note: This folder is hidden by default. Go to Start/Run and type in:
control folders. View: Show hidden files and folders

I installed Windows Powershell.

I ran Schtasks.

and found two tasks starting with User_Feed_Synchronization-{5A7D7D45-
with start times in year 2036.

I ran
schtasks /delete /tn *
to delete all tasks.

I recreated the scheduled tasks.

All OK now
