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,

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

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 simple
message either if the computer is in hibernated state.

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

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

Hi,

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

The task scheduler worked for years on XP with no such bugs. I don't
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 things
but I really need this scheduling function. May there will be a hotfix
which solves this problem. I think I will set up a multiboot system (XP
and Vista).

Thanks for help,

Perez
