Task Scheduling

[Albert Warlow]

We have just installes XP Pro and don't seem able to get
Task Scheduler to run. We go to Start-Con. Panel -
Scheduled Tasks and see all the programs we want to run
automatically listed with either "will not start"
or "missed" against them. The Advanced drop down menu
reveals 'notify me of missed tasks' ticked and 'stop
using task scheduler'unticked.
What are we doing wrong - can anyone help please?
