General Page Initialization failed error

[Guest]

I hope someone can help. I am troubleshooting a friend’s computer that has a
General Page Initialization failed error: The specific error is 0x80090016:
Key does not exist. This error occurs from task scheduler when you try to
configure a task such as Norton’s Virus to run.

I have researched this all over the internet and found an article number
246183 from MS knowledge base but this is for WIN 2000, the system I am
working on is WIN XP SP2. While doing a search in the newsgroups I found the
same issue that other people had with this and Vincent Xu from MS responded
with a fix by providing them with a file called systaskfix.exe. Could
someone provide me with this file? I have been racking my brains out trying
to resolve this without having to reload WIN XP from scratch. Hopefully
Vincent Xu from MS is looking at this as well.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

That article also applies to XP.

I tried the MS article but the computer I am working on does not have any of
the code lines listed in the registry file or directories as stated in the
article.
