Just noticed that my Task Scheduler service won't start. If I try to "run" a scheduled task, I get error messages that end with "Error 5". See screenshots attached (three pages).
My PC is XP SP3 32-bit, kept updated with the POS hack discussed elsewhere on this very good forum.
There's a complicated suggestion at http://www.realgeek.com/forums/task-scheduler-service-access-is-denied-334006.html , but the steps aren't well described.
Any simpler ideas? (I already turned the service off and on - no help.) Could anyone translate that realgeek series of steps for me?
EDIT - I just ran cacls for tasks and it seems to show FULL CONTROL for EVERYONE. That's at the end of the screenshot attachment. But is that good enough?
Thanks.
