Task Scheduler failed to start ........ Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943726.

Anyone know anything about scheduling?

I have a schedule set up to:

Start a programme - when the computer is idle - whether i'm logged on or
not - stop if the computer ceases to be idle

This works perfectly for a few days - basically works whilst ever wife or
myself are not using the machine

but after a few days it stops - well every time it attempts it's stopped
with the eroor message:

Task Scheduler failed to start "my prog". Additional Data: Error Value:
2147943726.

I know that if i delete the schedule and re-built it - it will start working
perfectly again for a few more days

I just noticed a parameter:

'Stop the task if it runs longer than 3 days'

I was assuming that this meant if the task was running 3 days
'continuously' - could that be the problem?

For anyone else with this problem - the error message relates to a problem
with login credentials - which in turn seems to be a problem with Vista User
Account Control - the task works fine but then appears to forget login
credentials after a computer boot/restart - which seems to agree with my own
issues
