    How do I fix this?
    « on: September 10, 2007, 09:28:59 AM »
    When I try to run Scheduled Tasks, Registry Scan and Smart Error, I get the message :
       Unable to start task.
       The specific error is:

       Try using the Task page Browse button to locate the application.

    Using Win2000.  Any ideas of what's causing this & how to correct?  Thanx.

      It's from an invalid path to that application.  Are you scheduling it to run a shortcut?  If so check the path to make sure it is the correct one to the application itself.

        Run a shorcut?  You mean from the desktop or something?  No, it's just under the routine systems programs, task scheduler.  I don't know how to check the path.  The task manager runs my other tasks fine ~ it's just the two.  I had 3-4 pages of the same thing that I showed as errors.  I had it scheduled to run at a certain time for several months!  Never checked back to see if it did until yesterday.  Apparently, it didn't, huh?    Even when I try to give the command for it to run "once", as in right now, it won't run.  I'm very, very techno ignorant, so if there are 10 steps, can't assume that any idiot knows the first 4 and start with 5 in explaining.  I use my computer mainly for fun, but do try to keep it maintained.  Any further instructions?  Thanks.  K

          What you can do is go here and see if they may know why their product won't run in the scheduler.  Also, can you run Error Smart manually?  Can you just double click on the program and have it run?  Try the same thing for the Regclean as well and let us know if they do run or not.  That way we can narrow it down to a scheduling issue.
