Task scheduler fails to start.

[Darnko]

I am currently experiencing difficulty with my task
scheduler. Any task that I schedule to run fails. Even
my Norton Antivirus does not run as scheduled and it
never needed anything before but to be scheduled on the
Norton Wizard itself. This is on Windows XP Home
Edition. The log reads - 0x8007052e: Logon failure:
unknown user name or bad password. I have never used a
password on anything on this computer. I have used a
password when trying to schedule a task,
and it still does not run at scheduled time. Everything
in the Services looks normal. I am an administrator of
this computer but I still get the same error everytime I
have tried to get a scheduled Task to start. In the, "Run
As", It's computers name\ My name. I have tried,
Administrator, instead of my name. I have gummed up the
works somewhere and would appreciate any help that I can
get with this problem.


Thanks
