Hi all,
I hope somebody can help me.
A few days ago the the computer hard disc started to work very hard and load.
I checked the Task Manager, nothing was running.
I happened to be reading Windows XP in easy steps and I came across the
scheduled tasks, i checked it and it was loaded with all the programs I have
on the computer ( about 50),
I tried to right click like the book said (and also the Help and Support) to
delete each program but nothing happened, the right click produces nothing.
under file the delete option is greyed out
I right clicked many times many times ( even retarted the computer many
times, to no avail.
I clicked on the Advance menu and ticked the Stop using schedule. It doesn't
stop the running schedules But if you stop and start the computer its OK (it
stops) but the schedule reverts back to start again by itself (unless I
remember to stop it) and will start sometime later.
The noise drives me crazy.
I view the log and yes its always on when the noise starts.
I rang MS windows they could help -they suggested that i talk to their Tech
for $50 so they can talk me thru on how to stop the tasks.
I tried to check this and similar sites for an answer, nobody seems to have
had my problem before.
I hope somebody has an Idea on what I can do ( I don't use the scheduler so
it can even be deleted all -program included doesn't bother me)
