XP Pro Task Scheduler

[Steven Clarke]

What ever I try to start with Task Scheduler brings up
error "Could Not Start". I checked event viewer, but
nothing reported. Ran Norton Antivirus, but no viruses.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Steve.

Hi,

Is it running on a passworded account and set to "run as" (hint: it should
be)? Is there anything in the application logs (start/run eventvwr.msc)?
