Running windows 2000 server service pack 4 and I'm unable to get the task scheduler service to start. There's nothing I've done since arriving at this job that would have changed, it's been unable to start since I've been here.

I've made sure that I attempt to use the "Local System account" and have checked the "Allow service to interact with desktop". I get the following error:

"Could not start the Task Scheduler service on the Local Computer Error 2147500037: Unspecified error"

I've also tried specifying the local Administrator account with password and gives me the following error:

"Could not start the Task Scheduler service on the Local Computer Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"

Please help, thanks!
