Items scheduled to run, say they are running but do not show up on the screen.
Problem Background: Problem noticed when using a Hauppauge board with WinTV
scheduler would not do anything at the specified time. This started to happen
about a month ago. The software uses the Task scheduler service to work so
went ahead and started to test the Task Scheduler Service to make sure that
its working.
Went into Scheduled Tasks and added items for one time only at a specific
time. The tasks get added without any errors but when the time comes, the
status changes to “running†but nothing shows up on the screen. Nothing is
seen also in the task bar, but if you check in Task Manager under processes
the tested items show up. Hearts and Calculator were used for testing. If you
end process of the items in Task Manager, “running†disappears in Scheduled
Tasks.
Checked the services.msc and Task Scheduler is running and set to automatic.
Went ahead and stop the service and started and then restarted the computer
and still nothing changed. The account used is an Administrator account with
a password. Password is inputted into items scheduled to run in Scheduled
Tasks.
Since the tested items did not work, it obvious why the third party
application is not working either.
Background on the system.
Dell Optiplex G270 with Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2, set to
automatic updates.
Any ideas?
