I too used to have this problem, still do on occasions and could never work
out how to fix it.

I have my schedule set for every 30 minutes yet the only way to get the
feeds to update is to manually right click on them and tell them to update.

Clicking 'Update Feeds' in WLM doesn't update them either when this problem
occurs.

Hi

On the internetexplorer.general newsgroup where i stared this i managed to
report a fix...

Not sure what caused this to happen but after being told to look at
Scheduled tasks...
My RSS feeds seemed to stop running after WLM installed, however I am not
sure if WLM did this, it could have been an issue I had with iTunes (and
subsequent system restores to fix the issues).

==== Original post ====

I have actually managed to fix to issue after you pointed me to the ST
window.

Turned out that the Protected Storage Service was corrupted.
I searched microsofts database and found article 246183 and deleted the
S-1-5-18 folder while in safe mode from c:\documents and settings\all
users\application data\microsoft\crypto\rsa\s-1-5-18
Rebooted and sure enough it worked.
I have not only RSS back but all other tasks i forgot were not running when
they should have.

Thanks guys.

- Jon
