[WIN7] Cannot start Task SchedulerI was attempting to run the defragment program and it says that the task scheduler is not running. When I try to start the task scheduler it tells me it cannot find the remote computer. I have tried everything, even running through the suggested Microsoft troubleshooting scenario's. Any suggestions? |

I looked on 2 machines I am not sure where that key is located. All I see is HKEY and I do not find anything under local machine schedule similar to the suggested change. |

Its in the registry, not the file system. If you are not familiar with teh registry, i suggest not going there. Another method is to verify in MSCONFIG that all the services under the service tab are check marked. Ill bet Task Schedule is unchecked. (START > Run type msconfig) |

I am familiar with the registry editor, maybe what they listed is for an older version of Windows. The key they were attempting to state to edit is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\schedule. The Task Scheduler is checked. When I go into Services and start it, it immediately stops. That is what has me baffled. There is no error code, it just stops, even if I start it using the command. |

Yes, that is exactly what I have on both machines - one works the other doesn't. On the machine that it will not continue running when I open the Task Schedule (tashschd.msc) it states that "Reading Data Failed", plus it tells me it cannot find the remote pc. It is set for the local machine. I get the same results when using the default admin account. I must be overlooking something. |

Oh, maybe I found the problem. I don't see the Task Scheduler Library folders listed. Now to figure out how to restore them. |

Can you export the library folders from the working machine and import them into the non-working machine? |

I can export the files, but there are several different programs and games installed on the machine that is not working. So I am concerned that if I import the files from the working machine that I will create additional problems.
It is a 4k xml file and I would have to do quite a bit of editing to the file to reflect the other user and the pc information. I am not familiar with xml files and do not know if there is any hidden data that may cause problems. I am wondering if there is anyway to force windows to recreate that file? |

You may be able to do a non-destructive repair install of Win7. It may recreate the folders.
Fred Langa of Windows Secrets has a good tutorial on how to do it. |

Yes, I have done that in the past on a couple machines. I'll have to do a current backup before doing attempting the repair install. Since it is the wife's PC, I'll also have to do it when she is not at home. |

Wife's PC means PRIORITY here! When her PC don't work, she expects me to drop everything and FIX IT NOW. |
