Rob,

I have seen to things cause this behavior. One is the Protected Storage service not being started. The other is Veritas'
Netbackup.

If Protected Storage service is not started try starting it. If we are using Veritas' Netbackup try stopping the services for it
and then see if the Task Scheduler service will start. If the Task Scheduler servcie starts with the Netbackup services
stopped then take a look at the following article.

184802 - PRB: User32.dll or Kernel32.dll Fails to Initialize
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];184802

Also make sure all of the NetBackup services are logging in as LocalSystem. If the services are logging in with a different
account such as a domain account, the account must have complete _local_ admin rights as well as the following Local
Security rights:

act as part of the operating system
create permanent shared objects
log on as a service
log on locally
replace a process level token
