Everytime I try to schedule a task to run it says an error has occured while
attempting to set task account information 0X8007005 access denied you do not
have permission to perform the request operation. Well I am the only one on
my computer. I did a hotfix but it still won't work and then it ask for a
password and it still won't do it. Please help me. Thanks
 
yes as far as I know I am I am the only one with the adminstrator account.
How would I find out for sure? I know when I go to control panel and look
into my accounts I am the only administrator on this computer.
 
When you go to the Control panel/User Account and look at each account.
you should see at least two users listed as "Computer administrator".

One of the accounts should be your personal account and is the one
you normally use to logon with, the other account should have the
name "Administrator".

You personal account should be "Password protected", by default
the account named "Administrator" has no password.

If none of the accounts have a password then the scheduler will fail.

Windows XP

If you are using the account named "Administrator" for your every day
use then I would suggest creating a second account and give it
administrator privileges. Use the new account for daily use as the
"Administrator" is there as a failsafe in case of problems.

If the above solves you problem and you do create another account
with a password and you need to migrate all your personal info to
the new account let me know.
