Scheduled tasks don't end

Along with creating a WinZip backup job, I scheduled
the job to run at a specified day and time. As part of
the job creation, I, of course, run the job to insure that
it zips the correct files and that the resulting zip file is
as specified.

Then, to insure that the scheduled task is also in order
with proper password authority, etc., I "Run" the task.
The MS XP Home SP2 system shows the task "running",
but it never ends. The Winzip log shows no irregularities
when run directly, so there must be something amiss
with the task scheduler. All of the Norton tasks seem to
run okay, but like I said, the Winzip jobs don't end.

Prior to using Winzip for backups, I using Stomp's
BackUpMyPC on the same offending system with the
same results, i.e., the job simply never ends.

Any ideas what might be causing all of this???

Thanks,
Bill
