I go to Control Panel / Add a New Task (Scheduler). I fill out all the

apppropriate windows, including a password, and at the end I am informed: THE

NEW TASK HAS BEEN CREATED, BUT IT MAY NOT RUN BECAUSE THE ACCOUNT INFORMATION

COULD NOT BE SET.... THE SPECIFIC ERROR IS: 0x80070005.

What am I doing wrong? How do I correct it?.......... Thank you........

    Try creating a dedicated account/password for scheduled tasks,

    then use it when scheduling the task. Note that blank passwords

    are not acceptable.

    Open the task and you will see a check box called "Run only if logged

    on". Tick that and it will run if YOU are logged in.

    You say "including a password". It MUST be the password for the account,

    NOT one you made up at this point in the Wizard.
