Log looks clean.
You have an awfully large number of tasks with cryptic names. that trigger about once an hour. If you don't know what these are I would delete them. I believe in XP (I have W2K) there is a icon for Task Manager and it will let you delete the tasks there. If you can't see them there is an option (Under View?) that will let you see hidden tasks.
You can also do it this way:
Right click on Start and select Explore. Then in the new window find the Views icon (bottom right of the two toolbars at the top. Looks like a little window with a down arrow. Press it and select Details. Then select Tools, Folder Options, check Use Windows Classic Folders, Apply then View, check Show Hidden Files and Folders, and uncheck the two that start with Hide. (ignore the warning) then say Apply. Then press Like Current Folder. OK.
Now locate the Windows folder (My Computer=> Local Disk C: => Windows and click once on it. In the right pane will be an alphabetical list of folders and files. Find the Folder Tasks and click on it.
Now you can rightclick on and delete any task you don't recognize. Or move them to a different folder in case you change your mind.
The only files that really need to be there are sa.dat and desktop.ini.
