SYMPTOMS
When you are scheduling a task with Task Scheduler, you may receive the following error message:
The new task has been created, but may not run because the account information could not be set. The specific error is: 0x80041315: The task scheduler service is not running.
When you look at the AT Service Account settings in Advanced options, you receive the following error message:
Unable to determine AT Service Account information.
In the Services tool in Control Panel, the service is listed as Scheduler instead of Task Scheduler
CAUSE
When you install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, the Scheduler service is updated. However, the registry entries that point to the program file may not be changed, so the previous version runs.
RESOLUTIONWARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve
problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk. - Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
- Locate the ImagePath value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Schedule
- Double-click the ImagePath value.
- Change the path to:
%SystemRoot%\System32\Mstask.exe
- Quit Registry Editor.
