Hi folks! Windows "newb" (I run linux at home, but have to use Windows XP at work) here with an issue.

I'm trying to start the Task Scheduler. I have no tasks scheduled (I made sure to delete any that were there), and when I try and start the Task Scheduler I get this error:

"Could not start the Task Scheduler service on Local Computer.

Error 0x80004005: Unspecified Error"

The only google search results seemed to be for Vista and 2000, so I'm not sure where to go on this for this XP machine.

thanks!!
