I am pulling out what little hair I have left. I am getting the error.

Error 1717: The Interface is unknown

I verified RPC is started but no go.
 
Sounds like the Event Log service is not running.

Dave I appreciate the response, I did not see that Service at all, it was not
listed. I am running Windows XP Home.

Thanks

When you view the Task Scheduler service in the Services snap-in in
Microsoft Windows XP, you notice that the service is not started even though
the Startup type option is set to Automatic. Additionally, you receive the
following error message when you try to start the Task Scheduler service:
Could not start the Task Scheduler service on Local Computer.
Error 1717: The interface is unknown.

CAUSE
This issue occurs when the Startup type option is set to Disabled in the
Event Log service in the Services snap-in.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, start the Event Log service. Then, start the Task
Scheduler service. To do this, follow these steps:

Note You must have a computer administrator account to follow these steps.
1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.
2. Right-click Event Log, and then click Properties.
3. In the Startup type box, click Automatic, click Apply, and then click OK.
4. Click Start, wait for the progress bar to complete, and then click OK.
5. Right-click Task Scheduler, and then click Properties.
6. In the Startup type box, verify that the startup type is set to
Automatic.
7. Click Apply, and then click OK.
8. Click Start, wait for the progress bar to complete, and then click OK.
9. Exit the Services snap-in. ]]

Okay I found the answer. Task Scheduler is dependent upon Event Log. The
Event Log task was missing. Pulled the registry entry from a working machine
and I now have task sheduling. If anyone else needs Event log let me know.

not resize pictures. Amazing!

Hmmm.

Why don't the Resize Pictures dialog appear while sending picture to e-mail?

You are not prompted to resize an image when you send the image by e-mail
from Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer in Windows XP
