Task Scheduler Service won't start
Hi, folks. I'm having trouble getting scheduled tasks to start on a
client's PC. This is a fresh install of ME with IE SP1 and AOL 9 installed. I have scheduled a few tasks, such as defrag and scandisk, but they cannot start. I have clicked on "Advanced\Start using Task Scheduler" but the scheduler hangs for a minute and then a dialog pops up telling me only that the "Task Scheduler Service could not start." I checked the log and it seems that the scheduler "cannot find the file specified" for any task, even though the executable paths are entered in each task listing. I have reinstalled IE6 SP1, thinking that this may correct the problem to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? ..?. Phil .?. |
Task Scheduler Service won't start
Never mind; I found the solution. KB article 215937 explains that the Task
Scheduler won't start if the volume label for the hard disk has the same name as the Windows folder. I changed the label and it's working wonderfully. Thank you for your time! Phil |
