| | corrupted scheduled task after renaming machine After I renamed my Vista machine, Task Scheduler warned me about two invalid tasks every time it was opened: User_Feed_Synchronization and Reminders (should be part of Windows Calender). The two tasks were not shown even with hidden tasks turned on, which prevented me from modifying them. I found some trick from Internet to manually locate and edit the job file. The old machine name was hardcoded in the job file. This must be a bug! I used notepad to correct the machine names. Now Task Scheduler complains the two tasks are tampered, still not showing them. Even I manually change the two files back to original content, it still complains about tampering. So what can I do now to correct these two tasks? |

I properly scheduled a task to run at startup, confirmed that the task was actually scheduled and rebooted. The next thing I saw was a BSOD. The only way I could overcome the BSOD was to restore using my True Image bootable rescue DVD.
