Scheduled Tasks Error Message

[Paul]

I am trying to schedule a daily backup of my data files,
but I keep getting the following error message:

An error has occurred while attempting to set task
account information. The specific error is:
0x8007007a: The data area passed to a system call is too
small.

Can anyone help please?

Hey Paul,

I don't actually have a fix, but I'm interested because quite a few of these
errors seem to be sufacing.

Which version of xp, home or professional.

Did you upgrade from a previous version of windows, or was this a clean
install by yourself, or is this a store bought pc which came with xp
installed. If so is what make and model.

Paul

Thanks,

We'll see if if there's a trend.

Have you applied sp1 or any other fixes ?
