Question Scheduled Tasks Problem

I recently upgraded to WinXP Pro SP1 from Win2k SP4. Now my scheduled McAfee Virus Scan will not run automatically. I even installed a new version of Virus Scan and deletd and recreated the scheduled task. It will run just fine manually, bit not automatically. All other scheduled tasks, including Virus Scan updates run O.K.
I even contacted McAfee's technical support and followed all their instructions for recreating the task, but still did not work
Anyone have an idea?

check to see if you have windows task scheduler running, go to run-->type services.msc---> look for task scheduler, check to see if it running automatically.. if not you have to set it to auto run..

I did check services.msc and it is running. All other scheduled tasks run just fine but not the Virus Scan.
