    Hi,

    I have tried the above, and deleted as per instructions.

    But I too still get the same error message the Image is corrupted etc, I did not delete all exept the configuration settings.

    I thaught if I deleted that, I would not be able to configure the back up.

    Should I have deleted that as well? if not doe youy have any other ideas.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I am getting this error message, when I open up TASK SCHEDULER

    The Task Image is corrupted, or has been tampered with.

    I have read this formula, in one of the forums and that is.

    That I go into regedit, and follow this tree.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CURRENTVERSION\SCHEDULE\TASKS\SYSTEMRESTORE\SR

    I SHOULD DELETE THAT TASK, AND THAT WILL RECTIFY THE ERROR.

    Can someone tell me if that works, and if I do delete that task how do I re-create it again?

    I am very afraid of messing about in REGEDIT.

    What will happen to the restore points, that I have?

    Do I delete them as well and start again, if so how do I delete them?

    To be honest I don't know if the current restore points, work anyway.

    If I do get problems in thge future, I would like them to fall back on.

    I do appreciate the. help

    I also get the corrupt task message when I try to run task scheduler.

    The program let me run a complete backup but it will not save the settings to let me do my automatic backup

    How do you re-configure file backup?

    I need to know that also before I attempt the above fixes.
