Task scheduler doesn't run the task

Hi,

I have a problem in vista 64bit:

If I set up a task in the Task Scheduler and I check the "Wake the
computer to run this task", the computer wakes up (from hibernate) at
the specified time but the task doesn't run.

Is there any solution for this?

Most likely the Task you are trying to run doesn't have sufficient
permissions. Make sure the task is run as Administrator.

Hi Perez,

Check to make sure that you have the "Run with highest privileges"
checked in the task's General tab. See step FOUR, step 10, in this
tutorial for a screenshot of this.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I checked everything, but it don't works.

The user account has administrator rights.

If I start the task manually, it is run.

I attached the screenshots of my settings, you may see what can be set
up wrong.

Thanks,

Perez

Perez,

What are you wanting it to run for you?

I would like to run a TV application (DVBViewer) and my own script.

As you can see on picture #3, the task scheduler doesn't start a simpl
message either if the computer is in hibernated state.

If the computer is on and I logged in, then all tasks starts in th
scheduled time what I set up.

I tried a lot of combinations of settings and I tried on an othe
computer.
The result was the same: tasks not run, just wakes up the PC fro
hibernation.

Perez

You might try having something else scheduled (EX: Disk Defragmenter
to wake the computer up say a minute before ro run, then have your tas
run a minute afterwards to see if it will run now since the computer i
already awake

Hope this helps

Hi,

Yes, this workaround is working. I tried it already. If I schedul
something else (EX: display a message), the PC wakes up at the time
set up for the message and if I schedule my application 1 minute afte
the message, it starts. So I have to set up 2 tasks to run 1. This i
so ... hmmm.....

The task scheduler worked for years on XP with no such bugs. I don'
understand why is Vista's scheduler doesn't do the same.
I like Vista because it's much faster then XP and has other good thing
but I really need this scheduling function. May there will be a hotfi
which solves this problem. I think I will set up a multiboot system (X
and Vista).

Thanks for help,

Pere

Perez,

I'm glad at least the workaround lets you run the task, but I agree
it's a bit ridiculous to have to do it this way. I'm not an expert on
adding switches or commands in Task Scheduler, but it seems like some
"argument" (switch or command) is missing from the edit "Action" tab to
allow it to run properly without having the workaround. I wish I knew
what it would be, but that should be something to look into also.
