Scheduled Tasks

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.

    Thanks, Jim, but I get a "Website Not Responding" message when I do that.  Will try again tomorrow.  Thanks again

    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.  Tried what you suggested with McAfee, but it didn't work. Appreciate your reply anyway.

    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!!

    Good. Glad you got it fixed, but there's a way around that too. Go to this web site - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp.

    What you're interested in is Tweak UI. Installing that will let you get into the computer every time without using a password.
