Scheduled Tasks will not run

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

When I use the scheduled tasks wizard to set up a scheduled task, I first
get the message that the task has been scheduled. Then I get an error
message that says it won't run because the account information could not be
set. Error 0x80070005. Access denied.

I am the only one using this computer so I believe I am also the
administrator. I used a password in trying to schedule the task.

Please help me identify what I am missing?

The password must be the same as the one for your user account.
