Re: [XP] Scheduled Tasks: Not Working Properly

I usually start troubleshooting this with the addition of a simple task to be run 2 or so minutes from when I start which simply runs notepad. Does this fail? Are you an administrator?

Yes, I am the administrator and it did re-configure the tasks last night and watched to see if they ran, but they didn't.

Oh, BTW: I did check the Schedule log file and it showed nothing, not even an attempt to run the scheduled task.

A few times I have run into a similar situation, I simply stopped and then re-started the scheduling service, and all ran fine. No need to reboot. I would check your event logs to see if anything is noted before doing this, and then immediately after as well.
