Scheduled Tasks not Running

Hello! I have recently upgraded from Windows XP to Vista and have been trying
to troubleshoot why some of my scheduled tasks from XP won't run when in the
Visa task scheduler. These scripts are calling either calling a VBScript or
are using a FOR loop. I could schedule them on XP but get a "file not found"
error when they run through the Task Scheduler on Vista. If I manually run
the scripts on Vista, they work just fine. Does anyone know of something that
has changed with the Vista Task Scheduler?

Sounds like the 'path' to the script is incorrect. Try putting it in quotes
if it contains spaces eg

"C:\Some Folder\MyScript.vbs"

I tried that, but unfortunately it didn't change anything. The scripts still
run fine if I manually execute them and fail when they are scheduled with the
error "file not found."

Odd. Dunno, unless your scripts themselves are also referencing files and
there's some issue with that (?)
