Scheduled.exe problem

[Gerald Bramwell]

Hi all,,

Every time Windows XP Home SP2 starts on my PC I get an error message
stating 'Scheduled.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience. Has anyone any ideas as to what might
be causing the problem. I have tried to look on the CD for the file but
cannot find it,how can I replace it.

Thanks

Gerald

Scheduled.Exe isn't a standard component of Windows XP. It is a
process from MSI for Video capture. You need to verify you have
this software and either update it or remove the startup call from the
PC. SysInternals' AutoRuns can help you review what is starting on
your PC when it boots up.

As a general rule, never assume your PC is free of "Baddies". It's a
good idea to run alternate vendor, on-line scans of your PC. Here
are two good scans to consider:
