Scheduled Task error - "data area passed to system..."

[LastWords]

Hi,

I have a Windows XP Pro (Serice pack 2) computer which keeps showing the same error when I schedule a task. The error that appears is: "0x8007007a The data area passed to a system call is too small"

I have tried stopping and starting the scheduled task service, waiting 10 minutes, then trying a new task, but this doesnt work. This was advised to me on the Knowledge Base.

Any ideas on how to fix this little problem are welcome.

Many thanks in advance.

This might be relevant? Apparently you may have too many scheduled tasks?

Thanks. I managed to fix it by deleting tasks, readdding them again and doing this over and over about 10 times.
