Strange as I have found the Command Prompt AT command works without an account password. Where as Scheduled Tasks normally needs an account password. Although I had XP SP1 installed , so perhaps it need SP1 as well.
Unfortunately, I have tried all of the recommended suggestions and nothing seems to work. Is there any procedure for refreshing the Task Scheduler service beyond restarting it? Can it be restored from a Win XP CD without a complete reinstall?
TIA,
Peter

You could try a Windows Repair from boot of XP CD , leaves the Data & installed Programs intact but you will have to re-download the Windows Updates again including SP1a if the XP CD label doesn't show it contains it.
Boot from XP CD & start Install then select R for Repair from next screen displayed.
(don't use the first R for Recovery Console)
------------------
First you could try running SFC , which checks protected System Files for corruption & if found replaces them from reinstall..XP CD .
If it prompts for XP CD , hold Shift key while inserting XP CD to stop Auto play.
Use Start > Run & type
sfc /scannow (space after sfc)
