I'm having trouble with the Task Scheduler XP Professional SP 2 installed.
I had several tasks scheduled that worked for months (years even) and then
suddenly they all stopped. No new software installed - can't think of what
would make them stop working.
I checked the Task Scheduler Service - it is running. I've restarted it
several times, no change.
I deleted all of my tasks and tested with a simple batch file: The file
contains only the line "Echo Test Scheduler". When I schedule the task to
run, a CMD.EXE entry appears in the Task Manager - Processes tab, but the
window does not appear on the desktop.
I have verified that "Local System Account" and "Allow Service to Interact
with Desktop" options are both checked for the Task Scheduler Service.
I have alternately scheduled an AT command and a SCHTASKS command from the
command line - same results.
Referring to the Task Scheduler window, I scheduled my test task and when
the time arrived the task shows as RUNNING, but nothing appears. The last
result code is 0x0.
I have searched online (and this forum) but can't find any problems that are
similar. I am an experienced computer professional and can edit the registry
if needed. Does anyone have any ideas?
