Task Scheduler in XP Home is not working. How can I re-
enable/re-install Task Scheduler so it is functioning
correctly. Thank you, Bill

Thanks Kelly,

I could not figure out why my wife's Norton Anit-Virus=20
would not Live Update as our other two computers update=20
fine, but we have passwords on these, but we don't have=20
to use them when Norton schedules the Live Update. I'll=20
see how it goes. Thanks very much for responding.

Regards, Bill=20
