Failed to initialise the Microsoft Task Scheduler
Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2009 9:42 pm
I have just installed a NAS box in RAID 1 configuration to take most of my backups from a Vista Home Premium SP2 desktop and a Win XP Pro SP3 laptop. The NAS is mapped to S: on the Vista PC and Z: on the XP PC, I am running AISBackup v2.7.0.360 on both systems.
Having discovered that it’s best to describe the NAS drive as a “1/ Local Drive” not a “4/ External Drive”, all is running fine on the Vista PC.
However, not so on the XP PC. The jobs I need are set up similar to the Vista PC, and will run manually but I cannot schedule any job from AISBackup any more.
My actions are:
Right-click the job name, select Auto Run this Backup Job
On Scheduled Backup Options window: OK
Next window is: “Failed to initialise the Microsoft Task Scheduler. Ensure that it has been installed correctly” from where OK is the only option.
Need I say that Task Scheduler is installed and working fine (an old AISBackup job is still shown in the list of tasks, is active and is run OK by Task Scheduler)
I have Restarted the PC, but the problem persists. Haven’t tried anything more drastic before this post.
