Scheduled Tasks Can't Create Error

[rebelfan]

I get this error when I try to schedule a task:

An error has occurred when attempting to set task account information.
The specific error is:
0x80070005: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to perform the requested operation.

I am the only user and administrator on this machine. I have no idea what is causeing this error. Any help is appreciated.

Are you using a blank or empty password?

You may, no fault of your own, not have sufficient permissions as far as XP SP2 is concerned. See for a workaround and hotfix information:

Of course follow Bills advice! My scheduled tasks has always presented that error BUT the tasks have always run and I've added and subtracted a bunch over the years and all I'm interested in is the end result.

Sometimes just entering your password again fixes strange problems in Task Scheduler.
