Is the Task Scheduler service started in Services?
If not, Start it and then set it to Automatic.

rights..i can't turn on any servers that will allow me to use that task
scheduler.

Check that 'Windows Event Log' is on automatic too.The 'Task Scheduler'
service depends on that one.
Put them both to automatic,and then do a reboot. See if that does the trick.

Try looking in Event Viewer for errors relating to Task Scheduler.

Start > eventvwr.msc
If you can discover any error codes / messages, then that can help.


Also if you have a restore point prior to the problem then you also could
try that.
