Scheduled Tasks Terminated

Some of my scheduled tasks are terminated with the following note:

“Task Scheduler terminated a task due to exceeding the time allocated for
execution, as configured in the task definition. Increase the configured task
timeout or investigate external reasons for the delay.�

How can I increase the time to allow these tasks to be completed?

Thanks,
Jerry

Step 15 takes you to Advanced features which will allow you to set a
"time limit" via *Stop any task that runs longer than *

Thanks for the link. When I go to that option, I can't figure out how to set
a "time limit." When I click on "Stop any task ........," it only gives me a
choice of how long to run the task before stopping. I have it set for 3
days, which should be long enough. My error message implies it is not
allowed to finish.

The link below is a screenshot of what I am looking at:

Maybe if you delete that task and redo it using the guide it will work
for you next time.

Sorry, but I guess I don’t understand the concept. When I look at the
snapshot in the link you submitted, it looks similar to the snapshot I
submitted. And, when you click on “Stop any task that runs longer than,� it
merely changes the time for the “runs longer than.� And, if that is what you
mean by “time limit,� then my 3 days number should be long enough. And, by
deleting the task, I would not think that wording would change.

Be sure you have the same value in step 15 and step 26. They are not
coupled.

I believe I have everything matched up, but still no luck. On other
scheduled events, I seem to be okay, except for some reason, when I check
Wake My Computer on one task, it does not hold and the check mark sometimes
disappears. But, other scheduled tasks do okay, so, I tried to use the same
check marks for my problem task without any luck. I might try, as the
previous poster said, to start over and see what happens.

Thanks for the reply. It turns out Vista has a Wizard to allow you to
schedule. It is shorter in steps compared to the link you provided.
Anyway, I tried both techniques, but no luck. However, I think I may have a
possible solution. When I tried to change a setting, I got the following
message:

Now, on previous tries when using the Wizard, I don’t remember seeing this,
but can’t be sure.
So, until I resolve the password issue, I can see myself having problems.
