Re: Starting Task Scheduler

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I checked both log files and didn't see any indication of why access would be
denied. The Scheduler log just contained the error 5 message with no
indication of why access is denied. Could this be related to some security
package? Thanks..

Hi Ramesh,

I do not have NOD32. I deleted the key and restarted windows and received
the same error message.

Thanks..

Are you using NOD32 anti-virus per chance?

I found the culprit I believe. It was NOD32 beta 2.7. After I reformatted I
installed NOD32 2.7 which is compatable with Vista. After installing and
restarting I checked task scheduler and I would not work again like before.
I uninstalled NOD32 and now it is working porperly like it should. Oviously
something wrong with the NOD32 integrated scheduler. Anyone else
experiencing this problem?

Meanwhile, try this:

1. Click Start, Run. Type REGEDIT.EXE and press ENTER

2. Go to the following branch:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Schedule

3. From the File menu, choose Export and save the branch to a .REG file..

4. Under the "Schedule" branch, right-click "Security" and choose Delete

5. Click Yes to confirm key deletion.

6. Exit the Registry Editor and restart Windows.

When I attemp to start the task scheduler from the Computer Management
window, I receive this message: "Could not start the Task Scheduler
service
on Local Computer. Error 5: Access is Denied". How do I correct this
problem.

Long shot:

The XP Event Log service needs to be running. Of course it already
is! Please check anyway.

In the c:\windows folder is the scheduled tasks log file:
schedlgu.txt

It contains info when TS starts, stops, runs, successes, failures,
etc. It can only be deleted when the service is not running, so look
in the log by date/time, or rename/delete it to get a clean log with
just your troubleshooting. It is hard to read when it is all
cluttered up and you are troubleshooting.

The error 5 is a permissions error. Can you create and save a new
file in the c:\windows folder? TS will want to create/write to the
log file, so if you can't do it, TS probably can't either.

Also check for related events in the System Event Log (Start, Run,
eventvwr.msc) after trying to start TS. Starting and stopping are TS
events that will show up there, so maybe there are more clues. Just
look at the recent messages surrounding your efforts.
