I have Vista on an hp laptop
I have been in contact with HP about an annoying pop up, they say to
disable it in task scheduler, but when i go to start task scheduler it says
to please verify it is running and to click OK, when the window comes up it
says failed to read data. I have gone in to services and it says its
started. I even tried to right click on the task scheduler in servicees and
all the options to stop it are greyed out, any help?

Thanks
Dave
 
might do a thorough check of your computer for virus/trojan/malware.
they are known to do strange things.

Thanks , Yes I already ran a full gammit of scans, Hp is telling me I might
have to reinstall vista as the file must be corrupt??? so far i like vista
but this one problem is about to make me take this laptop and throw it
through the window!!!!!!
 
Did you try to disable UAC (User Account Control) and Windows Defender etc?
It helped me a lot, when I tried to troubleshoot a few things -

I also uninstalled the program One Care, since all this security was making
me pull out my hair in frustration.
I had so many problems installing stuff with all these settings...
 
This is probably a symptom of a problem with the Event Viewer service
(Windows Event Log) not starting or functioning correctly--you can't have
Task Scheduler without Event Log (even though it may appear that the Task
Scheduler Service is running).
Open Event Viewer in Administrative Tools---do you get an error? If so,
check Services and try to start (restart) the Event Log Service. If it won't
stay running, that's the root of your problem, which quite a number of
others have experienced. I do not have a solution. Yet.
