Hello,

On one of our NT machines, at startup, we frequently get the following message:

"At least one service or drived failed blah blah blah"

In event viewer:

"The Task Scheduler Service was not started. Reason: The service did not respond in a timely manner."

and

"Timeout (12000? milliseconds or something) service etc." before that.

Is there something specific I should look for? Would reinstalling/repairing IE 5.5 replace the task scheduler files? We can't have automated shutdowns this way, and it seems to seriously degrade performance when it happens - which, now, is almost every day.

I posted before but nobody replied so I'll try again.
