I have a problem in vista 64bit: If I set up a task in the Task Scheduler and I check the "Wake the computer to run this task", the computer wakes up (from hibernate) at the specified time but the task doesn't run.
View 9 RepliesWhen I open task scheduler a pop up says "an error has occurred for task MCVsurveyReminder4 Error message the specified name is not vailid.". It repeats 4 time when i click OK and is followed by 4 of "an error has occurred for task MCVregistrationReminder4 Error message the specified name is not vailid". And finally by "an error occurred for task reminders - username Error message the specified account name is not valid"
I think it is something to do with a task to register my vaio or take part in a survey but I cannot get rid. It is in task scheduler local and there is no delete. I found a similar situation on the vaio site but cannot find now.Found it http://club.vaio.sony.eu/clubvaio/gb...7&lastpage=yes
I'm trying to back up my file, but in the process I was asked to start the task scheduler. when I do start the task scheduler, I get the following message: Task Scheduler is not available. Verify that the service is running.! I tried command prompt as well but I get nothing.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a vbs script that I use to copy files from my local drive to a network drive as a backup. The script works fine on its own (by double-clicking it or by running it from the command prompt). I created a scheduled task to have it run automatically, but it doesn't seem to work. It says that it completed successfully, but it didn't really do anything. Even if I select it in the Task Scheduler and then click "Run" in the Actions pane, it says it's status is "Running", but nothing is happening.

Selecting properties showed all options greyed out. I can't select Automatic, Manual, Disabled or anything. The contents of all other tabs are also greyed out. All dependencies are running.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure where to post this question. Will start here and if it's not here that I should post it, please tell me. My problem is this: when I open Task Scheduler, I get 53 pop-up error messages that various scheduled tasks no longer exist, and to get them back click on refresh. When I click on refresh, I get the same pop-up that it no longer exists. I identified all the folders that have the pop-up error messages, checked in
c:WindowsSystem32TasksMicrosoftWindows and then opened one of the folders that's generating the error message and verified that the file named in the task that is failing is indeed there. I went back into Task Scheduler and attempted to import the task, and then it tells me, "An error has occurred for task. Error Message. A task or folder with this name already exists." Someone's advice was then to just delete the
task. Why would I do that? These are default Windows tasks and I'm having problems with Windows Calendar's alerts not working, and I believe it's coming from the fact that Window's default tasks "no longer exist", even though they do! Can anyone stear me in the right direction? I've been all over the Internet for answers.
What is the difference between a 'Manual: Restore Point' and a 'System: Scheduled Checkpoint' if any? Because I just had to tinker with the task in Task Scheduler to make it more to my liking I no longer get scheduled checkpoints after midnight if the computer is on--I don't get any scheduled checkpoint. Before I get into more detail of what I recall changing--I know I deleted the default multiple task to also create a scheduled checkpoint at boot or logon--I want to test whether anyone will tackle this problem with me or if it has been handled so many times over the years that the post will just be ignored?

I have checked the history in the Task Scheduler and have the following error: Task Scheduler failed to start "MicrosoftWindowsSystemRestoreSR" task for user "NT AUTHORITYSystem". Additional Data: Error Value: 2147750691. If I go to the "Actions" tab in the Task Scheduler and then click on run, system restore runs.
The "Conditions" tab in the Task Scheduler is grayed out but shows the following are checked: Start the task only if the computer is idle for 10 minutes and Start the task only if the computer is on AC power.
I have a problem with the task scheduler. I have a stockpicking program (stockbrowser) that i want to run every hour from 8:00 till 18:00 on weekdays. So I defined a task as listed below, but the darn thing won't stop at 18:00. It keeps on running every hour weekdays, weekend, night and day. Now I know that Vista has good stamina, but I hate it when I am playing a game and it is starting to run in the background. what i am doing wrong? You would be forever in my mind. well at least a day or so.

I have been struggling with the task scheduler since upgrading to Vista. I used to have the XP task scheduler run Realplayer when my PC turned on via the bios RTC each morning, and play BBC Internet Radio. Worked fine, no problems. Vista however simply cannot do it. I have setup the Vista Task Scheduler to run a command line that I know works - I have tried dummy runs of the task scheduler when I have been logged in, and it goes no problem. I have also ticked "Run whether user is logged on or not" and entered my password when prompted.
When I login after Realplayer has failed to launch, the Task Scheduler history tab shows the following:Event 107, Task triggered on scheduler, etc, then above it, Error, event 101, Task Start Failed, Launch Failure.Most interestingly, in the failure details it reads:"Task Scheduler failed to start "Alarm Radio" task for user "ROTOMADave".
Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943726." What I find strange here is why the user is ROTOMADave (ROTOMA being the name of my Workgroup) when the user account is DAVES-DESKTOPDave.Could this be causing the problem, and if so how do I fix it? As an aside, the task will successfully run if I login to my PC before the scheduled task, then logout and wait at the login screen.
I've been reading a lot in the forum lately but now I have to post as well...I've been trying to get the old Task Scheduler (at.exe) running on Vista Enterprise to have scheduled jobs run indefinitively. Right now, I add a process via e.g.$> at 15:00 notepad.exe The job will start fine on the chosen time but will cease to run after 3 days (72 hours), killed by Vista/Task Scheduler. A look via Start -> All Programs -> Accessoires -> System Tools -> Task Scheduler reveals, that a flag is set "Stop the task if it runs longer than" to "3 days".
Googling for help, I found a KB entry from Microsoft, how to change the default ehaviour via a registry edit (A Task That Is Scheduled with the AT Command May Stop After 72 Hours Win XP/2000). This didn't do the trick on Vista Enterprise altough the registry section exists with the required parameter "AtTaskMaxHours"). Has anyone encountered similar issues on Vista or has anyone been able to overrule the default behaviour from 3 days to an "endless" job run?
i have a problem with Task Scheduler, i need it to work for my auto back ups, but i cannot turn it from manual to auto in the services panel as the box is greyed out, i can start it manually but if i turn my laptop of i have to restart it again manually. Also Windows loses all the backup settings and i have to do everything again. Everything is ok as long as i don't have to restart my laptop. i have checked all the uac settings i know all the other services that depend on it everything seems ok. No other services have there box for changing from manual, auto, or disable greyed out

View 9 Replies View Relatedit appears as though my webcam (a Logitech QuickCam Communications Deluxe) is crashing my MSN whenever I try to use it. I'm unsure why, honestly, and it's incredibly annoying.
As a sort of aside: how come the Task Manager doesn't actually close a program / process / task when I tell it to? It seems like it thinks about it for a while then decides it knows more than I do.
Second, my machine hangs on restarts and shutdowns for some reason. I don't know why it does it because it seems to happen at random intervals. Is there some reason why this would be happening? XP was able to shut down without a problem so it stands to reason that Vista would be able to do that, too.
i have a computer with only 512 mb, so i decided to buy some new ram, i got it today and bought a 1gb memory, after i put it inside my computer, i switched on my computer and it says 510 mb in task manager 238 mb cached, and 1 free, how come it doesn't show 1.5 gb in the physical memory bit under the performance part?

I'm using a home premium on a lenovo 3000 k series 100 with a intel 2 Quad CPU. And recently, when I set it to sleep, or it goes in sleep it self, it will wake up like 30 seconds right after the sleep, even at the night! I'm so frustrated with it.
View 5 Replies View Relatedwhen I have Vista go into "Sleep" I am un-able to wake it back up. I have tried everything from moving the mouse to hitting just about every button. In the end I simply have to restart the computer. Right now I use my laptop a lot and sleep comes in handy for me. I have a 1.7 CPU, 2 GB RAM on the 32-Bit OS.
My second problem deals with the row of HP QuickPlay buttons that came stock with my dv2000 series HP Laptop. The buttons themselves work but I no longer get any kind of notification of the action. For instance when I hit the mute button it no longer turns red. I have tried updating the driver and that did not work. Any thoughts? One last thing. In my opinion the Vista "sound", "battery" and "Wireless Network" buttons on the task bar look like shit. Does any one know how to replace them?
I have upgraded my box, MB CPU and memory (have done this many times without a hitch), have been running Vista 64 bit very well. What is happening at first I thought was it was awakning from sleep on it's own, BUT what is happening is every 5 to 10 minutes, the processor comes on and does disk activity for around 2 minutes then goes back to sleep. During this the monitor is dark, and by doing my regular wake up routine, hit space bar or move the mouse, these movements do nothing and will not wake up the computer. Then, when it's finished whatever it's doing, and goes back to sleep, I can wake it normally. I've run all kinds of scans for virus and malware (OneCare Live and also PREVX Edge with both have been vey efficient in catching the baddies). I can't find any task that says it lets this happen, and don't know of anyway to log something to tell me what is happening.
View 4 Replies View RelatedEver since getting the Hibernation feature functioning on my machine about a month ago I've noticed a very peculiar problem with the machine waking up on its own, usually when I'm not around, and I need to know how to stop it. It usually happens after the PC has been powered down for several hours. Today I had put it into Hibernation and then went out, and several hours later when I got home the thing was on, apparently having turned on by itself.

When my computer goes into Sleep Mode, I can't wake it by hitting a key on the keyboard or by moving my mouse (like in XP). I have to push the power button on the computer. I've done some searches for the problem here and on Google but still can't find a good answer.
