Task Scheduler

[Brad Schluter]

I am running win xp pro and I can not get task scheduler to work. When I
get to the properties for Task Scheduler it shows that the service status is
stopped, When I try to start the service I get the following error message
"
Could not start the Task Scheduler service on Local Computer.

Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a
timely fashion."

Any ideas (other than reinstalling windows)? I would love to delete and than
reinstall task scheduler without having to reload all of my other programs.

Thanks in advance

Brad
