how do I re-install Win98se "Scheduled Tasks"

[dancray]

My "Scheduled Tasks" has become corrupt and does not execute properly anymore. In my System tools the "Scheduled Tasks" properties tab shows the location of the file as "C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE ,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}".

But when I try to open it all I get is an my C drive open up showing all my folders. I tried the add/remove programs in the control panel; but there is no setting to reinstall "Scheduled Tasks". Do I have to reinstall Win98se?

thanks

Reinstaling IE should fix it!

[dancray]

[dancray]

dancray,

This is simple, but in case you haven´t tried it,
run mstask.exe,
that will give you the icon back on the task bar.

I get the icon on the task bar, but I cannot open it (when I double click on it nothing happens except my blood pressure goes up). And since I can't open it, I cannot modify any of the parameters. damn winblows 98.

I'm on 2k right now, but if I remember right, you just have to search for "task" in your windows folder, double-click and search the pulldown menus for "start taskmanager" ...

I'll pop by later again and let you know, if I got it right.

Cheers,

what happens if you right-click the icon ?

goto Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Scheduled Tasks and click on Tune-up Application Start.

[dancray]

wow thanks greebe, the tune up worked; task schedule is back to work. I guess I should as well

Maggi, some people (like me) disable it... ie no icon

[ayoub_ibrahim]

stopped mine from loading in msconfig!

Hi Ayoub
A better way to disable it is doing it from within task scheduler itself!
I mean, under the advanced options menu, you can click on 'stop using task scheduler' to disable it!
