The only way I could get Scheduled Tasks working again after SP2 was to go
into the control panel , open up each individual scheduled task, then
uncheck only if logged on. Then choose ok or apply. Then I had to recheck
run only if logged on. I had to do this with each and every scheduled task
listed to get them all to work again.
 
Yep, and like I said in the first place there are NO problems.
Anyway, I had no need to check as anything scheduled worked as and when it
was meant to.
When I said Has not done that on my one.
no problems at all after installing SP2
I MEANT JUST THAT.
 
I guess you were lucky. All 5 of my machines stopped windows scheduled
tasks from running until I fixed them.
 
All of my computers were running Norton Antivirus. I wonder if that had
anything to do with the problem.

Didn't happen on the 2 XPSP2 installations I did here at home.

I noted, back when the original XP came out, that you needed to have a
password for your username on your machine and enter the password for any
timed event. After that it went OK. I assume the same is still true in SP2.
