Can you instruct me or lead me to a site with instructions on how to set up a task to begin even while I'm logged off because the options I set must not have worked. Something is not clicking if the program shows that it has only been run 3 times.
That's the way scheduled tasks work. When you set up the task you have to provide an ID and password that will be used to run the task. With the ID and password specified, the task can run whether anyone is logged on or not, since it has an account to run under.
This article discusses trouble shooting scheduled tasks:
How To Troubleshoot Scheduled Tasks in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308558/
However, is it possible that the problem isn't with the task running, but that the program doesn't update the usage count when run from the command line? Copy the run command from your scheduled task and paste it into the Run box on the start menu and click OK. Does the program run successfully when you do that? If so, does the usage count on the program get incremented?
