I can't get my scheduled tasks such as Norton Live Update, defragmentation,
etc. to run. To the best of my knowledge, I have followed the instructions
to the letter, including using a password for all instructions. Running XP
Home edition and I haven't downloaded SP2 yet. Suggestions?

Scheduled tasks must run with admin privileges--make sure the user account
scheduling the tasks is an administrator account or use the "run as" option.
