The task scheduler service ITSELF will not start:

When I go to the servicec manager, and tell it to start the Task Scheduler,:
1) I get a pop- up error: "Could not start the Task Scheduler service on
Local Computer Error 5: Access is denied"
2) The SchedLgU.Txt log file shows:
"Task Scheduler Service"

"Task Scheduler Service" 9/22/2007 7:15:30 PM ** Error **
A failure occurred during service initialization.
The specific error is:
0x80070005: Access is denied.
Try using the Task page Browse button to locate the application.
"Task Scheduler Service"

Note that I am running the task scheduler as local system user (normal
setting)

System is XP Pro SP2, up to date as of today

Thanks

Maybe the System account does not have full access to the folder
c:\windows\tasks, or to some other resource. To confirm this, try
starting it under an admin account, then put it back to the System
account.
