[Guest]

Hi all:

I cannot start task scheduler due to "error 1083". What's that mean? I
have same error message using command line and gui to start the task
scheduler.

from command line, the error message like following:
============================================
C:\>net start "Task Scheduler"
System error 1083 has occurred.

The executable program that this service is configured to run in does not
implem
ent the service.
============================================

Could someone help me?

thanks in advance!
