Task Scheduler eerror - 0x80090016: Keyset does not exist

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

Recently the tasks in my Task Scheduler have stopped running - "Could not
start". When I try to check the properties of the task, I get a "General
page initialization failed. The specific error is 0x80090016: Keyset does
not exist...An error has occurred attempting to retrieve task information.
You may continue editing the task object, but will be unable to change task
account information." As the error message says, I can edit the task, but
the task still won't initiate as scheduled.

I've not had much luck googling this error, especially for Windows XP
(Home).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Pete

My solution was to delete the files in this directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18

You'll need to change folder options to "show hidden files and folders."

You are responding to a thread that is nearly 5 years old.
