schedule task do not start

[Meredith]

when I use scheldule task in system tools when i finish
in the schedule task wizard it give me a message that
says "the new task has been created but may not run
because the account information could not be set. The
specific error is 0x8007007a: the data area passed to a
system call is too small.
What ever tasks I've scheduled says "could not start".
I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks.
