Schtasks.exe error

    As of this week when I shut down my computer which has Vista Home Premium, I
    receive an error message for Schtasks.exe saying it failed to initialize. By
    clicking okay, the computer continues to shut down but I cannot find an
    answer for this problem. I have not added or changed anything that I can
    think of on this computer and I use it daily in my shop. Can someone give me
    an idea on how to solve this or a direction to look for the solution?

    That's an odd one. Schtasks.exe is used for scheduled tasks from the command
    line, but the fact that it's running on shutdown is a bit strange.

    Event viewer may provide a bit more information on the nature of the task
    that's failing to initialise. You could look in there for more info.

    ( Start button ) > eventvwr.exe

    hi jgrimm

    i've got the same problem recently.. after i installed the adobe creative
    suite (cs)..
    but even after i try removing the cs... it still occurred...

    and so i did what amazon935..remove java.. but that was not the cause either
    for me...

    finally i just removed the adobe PDF on the Internet Explorer Bar.. and
    apparently the problem is gone..

    try troubleshooting on it.. hopefully this help
