Re: Task Schedule Service issues msg during bootup?

Tom,

Open the SchedLgU.txt and see what you can see.

Start | Run | Type: SchedLgU.txt | Click OK

C:\WINDOWS\SchedLgU.txt

Or, Open Scheduled Tasks.
On the Advanced menu, click View Log.

From XP HELP:

Troubleshooting Scheduled Tasks
[[If a scheduled task does not run when you expect it to, right-click the
task, and then click Properties. On the Task tab, verify that the Enabled
check box is selected. On the Schedule tab, verify that the schedule is set
correctly.

If a task program does not run correctly, you might need to add command-line
options to the path of the program. For more information about a particular
program and its command-line options, try one of the following:

* If available, view Help for the program.
* At a command prompt, type the following (where program is the name of the
task program you are trying to run): program /?

You can also check the Status column in the Scheduled Tasks window. The
following table describes the status types.

Status Description
Blank The task is not running, or it ran and was successful.
Running The task is currently being run.
Missed One or more attempts to run this task was missed.
Could not start The most recent attempt to start the task failed.

For more information about the status of a scheduled task, you can check the
SchedLgU.txt log file. This log file for Scheduled Tasks is stored in the
Windows folder, where it is used to record the activity of scheduled tasks.
You can use the log file to determine why a task might have stopped, or to
check on the status of a task.

Notes
* If you cannot run any scheduled tasks on your computer, and your computer
is connected to a domain, see your system administrator to make sure that
the Scheduled Tasks service is turned on.
* If a user is not logged on at the time the task is scheduled to run, the
task runs, but it will not be visible.
* To check the status of a scheduled task, on the View menu, click Details,
and then scroll to view the Status column. ]]

The Task Scheduler service can also be stooped from the Scheduled Tasks
window.

[[The Task Scheduler service must be running and properly configured to run
tasks. If you had stopped scheduled tasks manually from the Scheduled Tasks
window, the service stops and does not initialize the next time you start
the computer.]]

Thanks Wes, for the quick response. I went to the Services.msc app, and
found that the Task Scheduler for startup type is already set
to -Automatic- and the services status: was eq to 'Started'. I am not sure
where else to look. I wonder if I need to alter the 'First Failure under
Recovery to 'RESTART THE SERVICE' and see if this would help solve the
problem. Any thoughts? Thanks again . . .

Scroll down to and double click Task Scheduler |
Make sure that it's set to Automatic under Startup type |
Click the Start button | When it starts, close Services.

I have just started to notice that the following msg pops-up every time
I boot my system "Task Schedule Service - Some tasks did not execute at
their scheduled times because the Task Scheduler Service was not
running. You can view the list of missed tasks, and attempts to run
them again, from within the Scheduled Tasks folder."! This just started
to happen after I installed MSN Premium with Outlook connector. If
anyone else has experienced this type of popup message and found a
resolution, I would appreciate the insight. Thanks in advance . . .
