For some reason, none of my scheduled virus scans were running so I checked on Microsoft Task Scheduler, which was shut off. When I attempt to START the service, I get the following error message: "Could not start the schedule service on local computer. ERROR 2 - The System cannot find the file specified".
Anyone have any idea of what I need to do? I'm running Windows XP SP2.
Thank you!
I always set the properties of the logs to "Overwrite as needed". I think
in a normal desktop app, if you attempt to write to the log when it is
full, it will pop up a message box telling you the log is full. You then
click OK and the app continues.
I think with a service app, it does the same thing, but since it doesn't
interact with the desktop, the "message box" is popped but not visible and
therefore the OK button cannot be clicked. The app then seems to stop.
Changing the log property of the application log to allow overwriting of
events has always fixed that problem for me.
