Scheduling

[Lee Hancock]

Hi All,

I'm a single user running XP Home. I don't use a password. I've been
trying to schedule some tasks to run at specified times. I go through
the process and everything looks ok. No errors or anything. When I
check back later to see what executed over the night, I get an
"unable to start" message for task. None overlap. Can anyone tell me
why? I know this isn't much information and I'll gladly answer
questions if someone out there can assist me. Thanks in advance.
