Am using a Dell Dimension 4600 with WinXP Home. I just happened to look in my "Scheduled Tasks" and there's four processes scheduled, but have never run. Reason being: "Could not run". These processes have to do with McAfee Virus Scan Updates. I read some of Microsofts solutions, and discovered that I should log on with a "password". OK, I created a password, logged off, then back on and doubled clicked on one of the scheduled processes and received an error box containing the following: General page initialization failed. The specific error is: 0x80070534: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done. Can someone please tell me what this means, and what I should do to get this mess straightened out. Thanks. Oh, my McAfee Virus Scan automatically stays updated and runs OK, and when I check for updates manually, it tells me all my McAfee stuff is up to date. Maybe I should just forget about the Scheduled Tasks?? Thanks again.
Do a forum search for that error. Just enter the digits. You'll come up with quite a few hits. I think you'll find the answer to your problem in one of them.
Don't know how much help this will be but I had the same problem with Norton. The fix was to open Norton, turn off auto-updates, delete the processes in Scheduled Task, then go back and turn auto-updates on. Rebooted and it created a new set of processes in Scheduled Task. Worked after that.
Thanks again, Jim. Found answer to my problem (many, in fact). Give yourself 5-stars!! Had to create a password and then apply it to the functions in the Scheduled Tasks. Worked like a charm, except, now, I have to enter that password every time I log on to the computer!!
