A scheduled task "Could not start"

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

On a Windows 2000 Server I have a script that checks whether some
services are running. If a service is not running the task attempts to
start it and sends a message to my E-mail box. The script is started via
a scheduled task:

"Every 2 hours from 7:00 for 16 hours every day starting 4.10.2006"

Now the first day I created the sheduled task everything ran smoothly
but on every new day in the morning the status of the task is "Could not
start". The task is run under the System Administrator user with
appropriate password. Only if I fill in the password of the
administrator again in the field Run as: in the task properties, the
task is scheduled again again - but runs only for that day.

What could be the cause of it?

TIA,
Primoz
