| 279614 | 2004-10-09 14:24:00 | I can't get task scheduler to work for me in XP Home even though it works for the tasks that Norton System Works sets up automatically. I keep getting the message "error#0x80070005, Access is denied. You do not have permission... I want to set a schedule for Spybot S&D. How is it done? Vince ?:| |

| 279615 | 2004-10-09 14:34:00 | I should have said, I have sole access to my computer and no passwords have ever been used, user logon etc. If I have permission to alter system files, why can't I schedule a task? Vince | Vince (406) | ||

Vince You run as administrator all the time? There would still be an admin p/w in pro? Does home not have this? if you can alter filesys, and install, you should be able to schedule, is norton causing an issue? do you need to p/w into norton ? very odd. Check in users that you are running as full admin, and not power user (You probably allready have). Odd. D. |

| 279618 | 2004-10-09 20:18:00 | I've had endless trouble with the Win XP scheduler, so I got a hold of System Scheduler from www.splinterware.com (it's free) and I've had no further trouble. | TideMan (4279) | ||

I disabled 'Norton Password Manager' (I never use it) in startup (using SpybotS&D); restarted and tried scheduling the task again, No error message! I've had enough for today so I haven't tested it yet. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction D. Vince :) |

The error message is back; the log file gives a different number from the one above, with the message, "The specific error is: 0x8007052e: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."
