Task scheduler service refuses to start

[Anjinsan5]

I am trying to get scheduler to start on my backup server. It appears in the sevices window (scheduled for auto start)but it doesn't start automatically and when I try to start it manually I get:

"Could not start Task Scheduler service on Local computer

Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fasion."

Any hints?????

When attempting to tart a service, you may receive above error. The resolutions are 1) Depending on your system setup, you may try to run the service under Local System or the administrator account. 2) make sure dependencies is running. 3) Make sure the related files have correct permission. For example, if you can't start the Task Schedule service, you may need to check the if the %SystemRoot%\Schedlgu.txt file has the Read-Only attribute. If yes, you may want to assign write permission.
