Task Scheduler Asks For Password / Get Task Scheduler To Run The Task?
Jun 3, 2006
Using Windows XP Sp2.
I am trying to create a task using Task Scheduler, and it asks me to "set account information". I am given three boxes. One of them, marked Run as has "COMPUTERJesse" already filled in. The other two are marked Password and Confirm Password. This is odd, because I am running under an Admin account (yes, generally not smart, but I'm smarter than the average bear when it comes to computers, so I feel confident I'm not going to mess it up with downloading viruses and such
I clicked OK to get out of the "Set Account Information" box, and in the entry for my task, the Status is listed as "Could not Start", Last Result is "0x0", and Creator is "Jesse". how can I get Task Scheduler to run the task and most of all, obey my authori-tah?
i have a bone with ms task scheduler! ha what surprise :s anyway, when i try to schedule a backup, it sits there and says cannot start. i have right clicked on it and then clicked on "Run you obnoxciously Botherating thing, you are for the Birds" but it still doesn't run. and i have checked the service which is running fine. what am i doing wrong??!!
Recently the tasks in my Task Scheduler have stopped running - "Could not start". When I try to check the properties of the task, I get a "General page initialization failed. The specific error is 0x80090016: Keyset does not exist.An error has occurred attempting to retrieve task information. You may continue editing the task object, but will be unable to change task account information." As the error message says, I can edit the task, but the task still won't initiate as scheduled.I've not had much luck googling this error,
Reinstalled Windows XP and the task scheduler looks alright. Then I copied the task from the previous system directly into the C:WindowsTasks. Now all my task is missing the front two tabs. I should normally have 4 tabs (Task, Schedule, Settings and Security). Now I only have 2 tabs (Settings and Security). What can I do to enable the front two tabs again? Even newly created tabs have only the two tabs. The newly created task would still run, but I cannot update them anymore.
After installing SP2, I found that Task Scheduler doesn't work. It generates this error:"An error has occurred while attempting to get task account information. The specific error is: 0x80070005. Access is denied. You do not have permission to perform the required operation."I searched Microsoft's Knowledge Base, and found this fix. Microsoft acknowledges that it is a problem
Task scheduler does not appear in the services list. I am logged in under the administrator account and am using Windows XP Professional. Every time I try to start the task scheduler in control panel -> scheduled tasks it says 'Unable to start'. When I try to view the properties of a scheduled task I get error: 0x80041315 (This is a picture of the error. I reinstalled Windows Internet Explorer 7 but it still does not appear in the services list. I also used System file checker but it didn't fix it either. I do not have Task Scheduler listed in the services list. I really don't want to reinstall windows xp...is there some way I can get the Task Scheduler working again? (Also I've selected the Notify of missed tasks option but that doesn't seem to work either)
Last night I noticed 2 files remaining after deleting my temp files. When I try to delete them, a warning box appears saying that another person or program is using these files. Task manager says no other program is running and I do not see any suspicious processes running. The only recent changes I have made was to schedule a daily backup via NTBACKUP and a daily rename & compression of the backup files via a batch file with Task Scheduler. Does task scheduler leave .tmp files in place I don't want to delete the .tmp files if they are indeed needed by something important
when I click on task manager it only shows the running task window. it used to have a list of all startup stuff and a thing where I could look at a graph of cpu usage, but those are not there anymore
on starting up pc the task bar freezes for approx 15mins & only the egg timer is showing, can access desktop icons, however not all programs launch on task bar. what appears to be the issue, is it hardware or software
I recently downloaded some media files and straight after my computer slowed down to a crawl and then would not respond. The mouse pointer remains active but i cannot click on anything succesfully. The task bar and task manager do not respond at all, i can open files saved on my desktop but cannot do anything when they're open and cannot close them again. I reset my PC a number of times but this did not solve the problem. I assume this is a virus or spyware problem but could it possibly be anything else?
You know how after you end a program using End Task in Task Manager, it asks you if you want to tell Microsoft about the problem? I was able on my other XP system to change an option somewhere so it doesn't ask me that any more. I just can't remember how I did it.
At times, I have this problem.When I tries to "End Task" of some program, Windows Task manager refused.The same will happen to Process Viewer that comes with Norton SystemWorks
I recently installed a program to block my internet at night so I can get back in to a normal routine. The only problem is I can simpley go in to task manager and end process and repair connection and i can do what I want again. I want to stop me from using computer at night so i can get in to a good happier routine. In order to stop me acessing program i passworded it with password i could not remember off top of my head, tried to make it as random as possible. but because i can just go in process and end it... its kinda pointless.
I left it so I can uninstall it because well there maybe a valid reason why I need to uninstall it sometime... and i know better then to never leave one safe clause. I know I wont uninstall it tho but because its so easy to just go to processes and end it... its just to easy. So I wanted away in which I can block processes from been closed or hide it so I can't close it like that.
I want to automate the backup of our Retail Management Software database file. The Partner who installed it wrote a batch file, which works fine, but he put it in the Scheduler and it never runs. I did the obvious, checked for correct user name and password, etc. The process kicks off, says it is working, but never terminates and does not actually run the batch file. I tried calling the batch file with cmd.exe, but that doesn't work either.
Task just did not run. Sometimes it reports that it did but it didn't. Each time we can run it manually but it doesn't run as scheuduled. I've deleted the task and set it all up again, but it still won't run.
I'd like to run defrag as a scheduled task while I am asleep. Basic setup is easy. Found the command in Windows/System folder. But that just opens the defrag console. At that stage it is necessary to chose analyze or defrag. I want to set it up to automatically defrag. How do I do that?
I am having an Icon in the Task Bar that pops up: "Your Computer Is Infected" and goes to a website: www.necessaryupdates.com, and to www.spyfalcon.com?
The 'start' taskbar on my computer has gone and i cannot get it back working. i've tried restarting my computer and it shows the taskbar for about 20 seconds and then it goes.i dont know what to do and its really frustrating.
I am running Windows XP Home and when I right click on the task bar for the drop up menu it shows all availabe selections as on my other computer. However when I click on 'Task Manager" I get nothing. All the other selections work fine execpt the display of the 'Task Manager'. Can someone help me out here.
i just signed up with this sight because i have no idea what im doing. i was trying to follow another thread with the same problem im having but it didnt work. when i log into my computer nothing appears except for my background picture. when i ctr alt del , nothing will run for me explore.exe just says not win.32 . i think my 3 yr old son messed with something in the control panel . i am just lost if any body can help much appreciated.
For some strange reason my task bar is slow to show up when I load windows. I recently did quite a bit of house-cleaning and got my overall start-time to something acceptable but my taskbar still wants to take it's time showing up when once it was there instantly.
so my task bar has disappeared and i have no idea why. everything else on the computer seems to be running fine except for this annoying issue.actually i tried to do a system restore to the last time i remember it working but the computer couldn't do it.
Bottom right... where the clock is.... called "The notification area". I am not seeing open programs. When I try to adjust that, through right clicking taskbar, properties...to where I should be able to select "Hide inactive icons"?, it is grayed out. I can not select it.
not a serious issue but its getting annoying. when i have a windows/programs the boxes on the task bar flash randomly. kind of like when you get a message through AIM but for any program/window. also when i click on them to bring the specific box to the front it doesn't do it. anyone run into this before? it was running fine up until i installed this TV tuner card but i have no idea how that would effect it....
I fix missing task manager and regedit but i don�t have boot.ini file when I started my computer but I fonud it any tutorials about modifying boot.ini file and I put code. in system startup boot loader timeout=30default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk ,i still missing stupid ini.file.
When I turn it on my wallpaper comes up on the desktop but no desktop icons or start up bar. Just an arrow. ctl -alt - del does not bring up the task manager. Absolutely nothing can be done. Nothing on the keyboard makes anything work. Is she gone or what? Please help this is my baby here. I tried the recovery disk that doesn't work either.
I installed Paint Shop Pro 8 and a patch to PSP8, when I returned to my desktop, this horrible, empty green bar had taken over the bottom of my desktop. there is nothing on this bar except for the MS flag on the left side. Clicking it allows me to reveal my programs menu,but I have no idea what is open because nothing shows on this bar. I can neither move the bar or see underneath it.
